Goodbye, last cup of Victoria. This tea had the prettiest silvertips. Oh, silvertips.

I was slightly hungover from drinking half a bottle of wine last night, so I chose this tea! (Yes, I am as much as lightweight as Sherlock & John.) The mint really stood out to me and that was mostly what came through.

I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would, considering I love almonds, assam, and flowers. Should have had it with biscuits ;)

Really beautiful tea. Not so much cherry as almondy, and not overpowering.

i’ll always remember that the first time you tried this tea you felt compelled to text right away and tell me how delicious it was!

Really lovely brioche tea on a snowy morning. It jumped out at me, and now I know why – good choice!

Also, Marie Antoinette never said ‘let them eat cake’ – it was someone else entirely, and she mostly likely said ‘let them eat brioche’ (i’m reading this epically long wiki list about popular misconceptions)

I don’t smell the roses, but I recognize the gunpowder. And currants? Anyway, it’s amusing to drink a Sherlock tea, and I’m already 404% done with today so.

That sounds like an interesting combo! Hope it helped distract from everything monday-related.

Thanks! It’s always nice to drink a fandom tea, but I think in this case the flavors I normally like kind of cancelled each other out. Also, I tend to like the Watson teas more. But I’m already planning my second cup of something…

drank Peaches & Ginger by Harney & Sons

Hmm, I love Harney and peaches and ginger, but this one – while it smells amazing – has too much artificial flavor/sweetener and I can’t really deal. Oh well, it’s the last of it in the house.

Woke up in a bad mood – wish I were in Miami Beach!

Shmiracles

oddree

OMGsrsly

Shmiracles

Drinking a second cup at my desk, but secretly wishing I was reading Mad_Maudlin’s Sherlock fic on AO3 instead. Alas!

drank Savoury Blend by English Tea Shop

Pineapple, nuts, oats? This is an interesting tea I got as a holiday gift. Definitely real tea, though. Pretty tasty, actually.

It’s yoga day, and I’m still recovering from last night’s watch of the Sherlock S3 finale, in a better mood than most days. Plus I got more Lemony Gunpowder to have after lunch.

I’m drinking Harney’s Earl Grey Supreme and Lemony Gunpowder again today, but I had Super Ginger with dinner last night, which was a spicy pad thai my housemade made, and it was a super fancy dinner at home. I’m feeling better today because I switched to Zyrtec-D and now my head isn’t a giant stuffed balloon.
