drank Guangzhou Milk Oolong by DAVIDsTEA
1473 tasting notes

I live! Fall is on the way and it always gets me back into tea, I can’t help it. In the past year I’ve been on a cruise, I moved in with the in-laws for a month and a half, my wife lost her job and found a new, better job within a week, and I was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Woo. Busy year, but overall a good one!

Reached for this tried and true favorite due to wanting an oolong I can steep over and over and over and not get tired of. I made it in a steeper and put it in my new raccoon lock top mug, the first time with just a single ice cube to cool it enough to drink and the second time with the mug full of ice so I could enjoy a refreshing drink on this warm Toronto afternoon. As always, a+. Will always be one of my favorites.

Side note, I’m dying to see the back of one of the raccoon nordic mugs, all I can find are pictures of the raccoon on front with his little mug of tea. Does anyone out there have one they can snap a quick picture of for me? I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need it since I got the matching lock top mug, buuuuuuuut…yeah. Tempted.

It’s just so cute and I’m still kicking myself for not getting the multicolored raccoon mug from 2014!

I posted all three pics at once so you should be able to slide from one to the next on instagram in the same post.

Bio

Formerly aisling of tea, now you can call me ele .

“You can forgive a murder, but never a mistake while preparing tea.” Chinese proverb

Labels? Here you go: Femme, Wife, Lesbian, Homemaker, Happy. Don’t forget tea fanatic!

New label as of May, 2015: Diabetic. I’m using tea to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings and keep me hydrated without hurting my system or messing with my blood sugar.

Ah, tea. My love for you is ever changing. At my last update, I was all about the rooibos and now I hardly drink it. I only occasionally had an oolong and now I have one just about every day. I’ve learned the art of resteeping and coldbrewing and kombucha. I have a lovely little tea pet named…well, I haven’t decided on a name for him yet. I also have five! live pets, a tabby cat named Rosabella Francis (Bella for short), a ginger cat named Orange Julius Pekoe (Pekoe), a white and grey cat named Earl Jean Grey (Earlie), a tuxedo cat (and the only boy in the house) Prince Erik Darien Darjeeling (JiJi) and a red foot tortoise named Da Hong Pao (Pao). So if you see me referring to my girls, I don’t have kids, just animals.

As for tea, I love oolongs, herbals, and black tea. Since I am no longer working, I no longer feel the constant need for a mate energy boost, though I do still reach for it from time to time. I also drink less matcha, though I do throw a spoonful or two in when I’m making smoothies. Most of my tea I drink coldbrewed, and since I discovered coldbrewed rooibos was giving me headaches, I’m drinking less and less of it. Straight pu-erh is not a thing I enjoy, but there are a few flavored blends I like. Greens are still too finicky for me to bother with hot, but they make great cold brews.

I am by no means a tea purist. I greatly enjoy flavored teas and I put stevia in all of my teas. It’s just how I do.

I think I’m going to name my tea pet Mr. Turtle. Even though he’s a tortoise.
