Drinking out of my new mug from Disney! Drinking out of the Disney California Adventure mug from the You Are Here Collection from Starbucks :)

Ahh I want all the Florida ones as well! I don’t know anyone who is currently in Florida though so that might be a bit of a problem…

But this is an okay tea? Only drinking it bc it’s caffeine free and it smelled pretty good! But as with many rooibos teas I’ve had, the flavour kinda disappears after steeping.

I visited my friend today between classes to help her study and she offered to make lunch and tea! She loooooves this tea and has about 2 tins full top the top.
It’s good.
She made it a bit tart to my liking, but it was decent! I feel like it’d be much better iced though

Oh my gosh. I’m so dumb.
So I got the Steeper and I LOVE IT TONS.
But today, I was just so off! I’ve been sick and sleepy the past couple days and I totally forgot to put the mesh bit of the steeper back in?? Like really?!? That’s the entire point of the steeper! So now I have leaves in my mug and I have to pour that mug of tea through a sieve and into another mug.
And now clean up is going to be a butt because I FREAKIN FORGOT ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECES OF THE STEEPER.

But all in all, this tea is super good! I only took 4g of it soooo I’m definitely going to put it in my to buy list once I get rid of a lot of my teas :)

Teeny tiny 2g sample from the Marco Polo Tea Box!

Ahh such a lovely tea! I love looking at the leaves unravel in my Steeper :))
It tastes like hot water with slight notes of earthiness. I was kinda hoping with it to have a bit of a bolder taste.
Maybe because it’s a wee sample. Hmm I’ll need more leaves for it to get a better flavour!

Backlog.
Peppemint tea.
Yeah, nothing too special about this! Just plain ol peppermint to cure the headaches I’ve been getting the past week

I freakin love this thing so much you have no idea
This was one of my sister’s christmas presents to me, but I bought it because I get points hehe :)
I’ve been brewing all my teas with this thing because it’s so easy to use and so easy with cleanup! At first I was confused with the cleanup, but I just pop the mesh out, and then pop out the bottom plug thing and viola, easy peasy! Be wary though. Make sure that the rubber thingies in the plug section are on correct bc this morning, I didn’t exactly pop everything back into place and it started leaking. Boiling water all over your hands is a bad thing… and I tried fixing it, and it just got stuck.
And when you place it on the stand, make sure it’s centered because then again, leaks!

It’s super easy to use, but keep in mind that you’re working with hot liquid and if it’s not sealed correctly, that liquid can leak.

Lovely lovely LOVELY and I’ll definitely keep using this again and again! My teapot is just used for show now :)

MUHHAHAH SIPDOWN

I celebrate my sipdowns now because I have so many teas oh my gosh

But this was a free tea bc Starbucks rewards and it was pretty good! A very nice green tea :) Very vegetal and definitely something that is an acquired taste. Roommates hate it, but I actually enjoy this tea :)

I already have a reward in my account and the next time I find myself at the mall, I’ll get another tea :)

Love love LOVE this tea tons!
Shmiracles gave me a sample in my first swap about a year ago, and when I went to DAVIDs just last month, I had to get this tea again!
Decided to make this this morning in my Steeper and I think I attached my Steeper all weird because first it was leaking all over. And then I toggled the bottom bit, and after that when I placed it over my Timolino, it like.. the tea wasn’t coming out :/ Rough morning with the Steeper, but the tea still turned out fine!

Took it with me to class and I had Step Aerobics this morning and my roommates and I decided to take that class together! It’s great because that’s the only class I have Tuesday/Thursday and it’s right next to our Rec Center sooooooo I totally could work out right after. I DON’T WORK OUT BUT THE REC CENTER IS PRETTY AND IT’S INCLUDED IN TUITION SO I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO USE IT AHHH

But yeah. This tea is great and it still remains one of my favourites :)

Mmm this tea
This tea smelled so lovely from the 12 days of tea that I got a while ago!
I love the cinnamonny apple sweet bread taste that I get from this upon the first sip. It’s a tad weak on the sweet side, but just a touch of agave brought some of the flavours out!

All in all, a very lovely tea on this cold(ish) morning :)

((Btw, I accidentally deleted my personal blog a couple months ago, and with that, my tea sideblog got deleted as well :( But not to worry! CP is over and I can have an online presence now aaaand I made a new tea blog with the PERFECT NAME I LOVE IT SO MUCH http://iloveyousomatcha.tumblr.com/ ))

I’d just want to wish everyone here a very Happy New Year!!

I know I don’t post on so much anymore, but that’s because Disney has ended :( Well, College Program, that is! I had my last day as a CP yesterday, and Sunday will be my first day as a part time cast member :) Nothing too special, I’m still at Disney! hehe :) The main difference is the fact that I get like no hours, which is good because I have to focus on school this quarter. Ahh too many things going on right now!

But yeah. THIS TEA.
Well, first off, I freakin love my DAVIDsTEA Steeper like IT’S SO EASY TO USE AND CLEAN UP IS FAB. I might have to do a separate review on that.
But I got this tea like last week as a part of my Starbucks reward and the people were just staring at me. I asked if I could get an oz of this tea and they were trying to get me to purchase other teas or purchase it in a tin or whatever and I’m all naww, I just want the tea please! Did you want to purchase a tea to drink on your way out? Naww just the tea please

I’m freakin lost without my tea scale so my proportions might’ve been a bit off, but this tea ended up a bit bitter in the beginning. And then after a couple sips, it started to mellow out a bit :) It’s really good! $15 an ounce, and a minimum 2oz for a purchase is a bit steep for me (ha. get it?), but this works for the rewards and rewards I shall use!

Thank you Starbucks for all these extra perks. I reach my rewards constantly because of the Starbucks backstage. And because of that, free teeeeeaaaa!!!
