I can’t remember the last time I woke up and was disappointed that it didn’t snow the predicted 6 inches…was all primed for snow day serendipity, and it turned out to be just another cloudy workday with slush. :o{
So…something heavy duty was needed to yank my eyes open and my backside out the door. I had some TeaMaze Coffee (puerh/cocoa/coffee beans) leaves left from yesterday—it’s a great second steeper—and combined it with a rollicking spoonful of Braveheart (Savoy Tea; blend of Chinese, Indian, and Sri Lankan black teas). The straight-up breakfast blend cut the cocoa sweetness and made it lean more toward an actual cup of java.
Result: I still want to go back to bed, but the home brew was tasty.
Disappointing Snow Storms are no fun and seem to the be story for my part of the world this winter. I’ve been pulling out all the cozy teas to make up for it.
