So last night I fell in love…

Basically, I wanted a short break from Breaking Bad so I was looking for an anime I could watch a few episodes of in between Breaking Bad, preferably something new that maybe I could rotate between for a while. I settled on Princess Jellyfish because the little Netflix blurb sounded interesting enough and the name kind of drew me in. Plus there was cross dressing… And well, I have this thing.

Basically, I’m really attracted to slender/thin men who cross dress/do drag. My absolute favourite Drag Queen of all time is Alaska Thunderfuck, who was on Rupaul’s Drag Race. I think she is just absolutely drop dead fucking gorgeous in and out of drag. Almost literally takes my breath away…

Anyway, this anime Princess Jellyfish might just be the most beautiful anime I’ve ever watched and I instantly fell in love with in from episode one. I watched the entire eleven episode anime straight last night with three cups of green tea to keep my company and no interruptions and I bonded intensely with all the characters, which are essentially a ‘rag tag’ group of hard core Otakus and Kuranosuke who is a cross dressing son of a politician who helps these girls realize their beauty and who accepts them despite their weird tendencies and obsessive behaviors.

And we are all hard core Otakus about our tea and I just saw the passion we all have about tea kind of directly reflected in Tsukimi’s love of Jellyfish and it was beautiful and great. Plus, it’s sort of a love story too and it has some very intense ‘shippy’ moments that I know some of you on here would just eat up.

Long story short, I’m in love with this anime and heartbroken it’s only 11 episodes long, except THANK GOD the mango is still on going, because I need resolution and I need Tsukimi and Karunosuke to end up together and it needs to be beautiful and more jellyfish… Just AAAAHHH!!!

Also, I have the hugest anime crush on Karunosuke right now, and am blushing like a stupid idiot just thinking about his adorableness, which is ridiculous because he’s a fictional, animated character.

So yeah, maybe check the anime out? It’s short, so not really a time commitment – plus the theme song is beautiful and SO catchy.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the tea was really great too, heh…

I love drag queens. My wife knows that if drag queen were ever to so much as wink at me, I’d be gone XD.

I love Drag in general (in highschool when I didn’t have to worry about looking professional for a job or anything, I wore very over the top drag-esque make up and accessories and such, and people joked that I took drag to a whole new level by participating despite being female), but I really have a thing for very slender, thin Queens like Alaska (or Sharon Needles, who she’s together with) and Karunosuke. A real life Karunosuke might be the death of me with his beautiful eyes and hair…

I’ll have to check it out when I have the time. My favourite anime is hands down Yakitate Japan. It’s pretty hard to beat, in my opinion!

I watch on Crunchyroll when Funimation and Netflix don’t fill my anime needs. Although it’s mostly subbed on Crunchyroll it’s totally worth it!

Bio

Hello! My name is Kelly, though many people in the tea community call me Ros or Roswell.

I am a mid-twenties tea addict, blogger, and all around nerd. I grew up in the Prairies, but a few years ago I relocated to Quebec to pursue a career with DAVIDsTEA in the tea industry! I’m still working on getting my French language skills down…

My first introduction to tea, in any form outside of instant and bottled iced tea, was about seven years ago when I happened to stumble upon DAVIDsTEA while looking for a birthday present for a friend! I tried their Birthday Cake rooibos blend, and I’ve been hooked on tea ever since! In those seven years; I was introduced to the online tea community, expanded my interest in flavoured teas to include a deep love and appreciation for straight teas and traditional brewing methods, got a tea themed tattoo, started reviewing teas, amassed a sizable tea and teaware collection, became a TAC certified Tea Sommelier, & even came full circle by beginning a career in the tea industry with DAVIDsTEA!

I consider myself a Jack of all Teas, and strive to have a knowledge and appreciation of all tea types, formats, and styles of drinking. I don’t like to feel boxed in to just being a “flavoured tea” or “straight tea” drinker – my expectations may vary depending on the type of tea or how it’s been processed/prepared but if it’s good tea, it’s good tea no matter how it’s been made!

You name it, I probably drink it- and I’ll absolutely try anything at least once.

My default method of preparation is hot, Western style, and straight – but I’m not opposed to additions if I’m in the right mood. If I ever add something to a tea or use a different method of preparation I will ALWAYS call it out in the tasting note though.

I like to listen to music when drinking tea, especially when I’m brewing a large pot at a time or steeping Gongfu. Often I curate very intentional tea and music pairings, and sometimes I share them here in my tasting reviews. Music is something that I find can deeply affect the experience of having tea.

I’m also one half of the “tea and fandom” podcast GeekSteep where, weekly, we discuss newly explored fandoms over tea as well as try to figure out the perfect tea to pair with each fandom. You can find us on Spotify and Apple & Google podcasts.

Favourite flavour notes/ingredients: Pear, lychee, cranberry, cream, melon, pineapple, malt, roasty, petrichor, sweet potato, heady florals like rose, hazelnut or walnut, sesame, honey (in moderation), and very woody shou.

Least favourite flavour notes/ingredients:
Lemongrass, ginger, strongly spiced profiles (and most Chai in general), mushrooms, seaweed, chamomile, stevia, saltiness or anything that reminds me too much of meat that isn’t supposed to taste like meat…

Currently exploring/obsessed with: Sheng from Yiwu, Yancha (Qilan in particular), anything with a strong sweet potato note. Also, I need to try ALL the root beer teas! Searching for a really good caramel flavoured blend, ideally with a black tea base.

Please contact me at the instagram account listed below if you would like me to review your teas.

Currently I’m employed in the tea department of the DAVIDsTEA head office. While I’m still sharing my own personal thoughts on new & existing DAVIDsTEA blends, I am no longer numerically rating them due to the obvious conflict of interest. Any comments expressed are a reflection of my own thoughts and opinions, and do not reflect the thoughts and opinions of the company. Any DAVIDsTEA blends you currently see with a numeric score were reviewed prior to my being hired there and have not been adjusted since becoming a DAVIDsTEA employee.
