Sipdown (201/203)!
I really want to get under 200 today – so I scoured my sample drawers/bags looking for things that could be easily sipped down. The slash in my sipdown count is “Number of Teas”/“Number of Teas/Teaware”. Maybe I’m over complicating things now that there’s teaware in my cupboard, but it seems weird to me to include that number in the number of teas I have. However, I also want it represented that I own those things…
Stupid overthinking mind.
Anyway, thanks VariaTEA for the sample of this. It’s the perfect amount to get one good taste of this tea to decide whether it’s worth seeking out more. I’ll admit, dry it doesn’t smell like the most appealing mint tea. I think I actually prefer the smell of DT’s Peppermint Amour. But we’ll see how the taste holds up.
I don’t know – taste wise this is sort of just normal to me? Like – don’t get me wrong, it tastes really good and definitely has a nice mint flavour and hints of chocolate. But I think I thought it’d be a bit more or that the marshmallow root would really significantly add to it? Anyway, it’s a nice solid tea and I’m liking it but out of all the mint/chocolate options this isn’t really the option for me or the one I would most highly recommend over other mint/chocolate teas like I’ve seen some people do.
I don’t know, I guess I just had super high expectations that weren’t necessarily met.
In other news, I heard something at the door and rushed over instantly to see if I had mail – but then I, sadly, remember it was Sunday and that other people live here too so it was likely just the landlord or landlord’s daughter leaving. No mail.
Also, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X_2IdybTV0 is the song I woke up humming today. Something tells me that, in addition to dreaming of having the best apple pie tea ever, I was also dreaming about one Dean Winchester – whom I’m sure would be down for some apple pie tea too.
Flavors: Chocolate
I would definitely have apple pie with Dean Winchester. I would bake an apple pie for Dean Winchester as well. Also, I may occasionally dream about that lovely man as well (and by occasionally I may mean often).
