812 Tasting Notes
good morning!
I WAS gonna save this to drink with my sister. but I have bad impulse control and wasn’t thinking when I packed it for my trip. black tea black tea black tea!
it’s a nice tea. Not sure it’s my favorite or anything, but it’s nice. Maybe best at night after dinner like as a cocktail alternative. It tastes … adult.
appropriately drinking this tea as i read this http://archiveofourown.org/works/324584?view_full_work=true
the scent of this tea is very strange to me, sweet but ‘off’. and it intrigues me over and over.
i think i like it?
i’ll have to get back to you on that.

my roommate is having a baby in the next room.

this has been the best monday ever.
i’m pretty sure i decided this would be the first tea to try weeks ago.
i imagined it would be bolder than it is, but i do like it! perhaps i’ll brew a double strong cup next time just to see.
shh don’t tell anyone but i’m at work drinking this tea and listening to the first 9th doctor episode of doctor who.
i’m a 9th doctor girl. and i love the writing so much.
oh Eccleston … my cheeks feel flush … it must be the tea.

“The Doctor is a legend woven throughout history. When disaster comes he’s there. He brings a storm in his wake and he has only one constant companion. Death.”
Where did you want to start?
Um… The inside’s bigger than the outside?
Yes.
It’s alien?
Yep.
Are you alien?
Yes. … Is that all right? (he asks it a little softer)
Yeah. (she answers a little softer and quickly)
OMG I FORGOT WHY I LIKED THIS SO MUCH! I hate to say it but though i love Matt Smith, some of the special chemistry in the writing from 2005 has faded over the years.
With the exception of the mid-season finale, the newest season was very disappointing to me – BUT Matt Smith is definitely “my” doctor. I love Eccleston when I am watching him and love DT all the time, but Matty Smith is my fave : )
i agree! so the recent episodes may not be as snappy and elegant as some from the past, but Matt Smith is definitely still electric. He’s certainly a close second to eccleston for me. both impressive actors.
An 11th episode high point for me MIGHT be the one with Stormageddon? so many memorable moments :)
i think i just need to watch them all again! good thing i have all this new tea to drink through my doctor who marathon!
I need a new show to watch. I think I’ll start on this one. I’ve only seen one scene where he goes into an old western style saloon bar and orders TEA with the TEA BAG in haha
David Tenant was saved by a good cup of tea at one point..that’s something to enjoy. : )
Electric is a great word for the way Matt Smith does the Doctor. He’s so vibrant and compelling, I want nothing more than to adventure with him.
Stormageddon was BRILLIANT. Of course he speaks baby!
CupofTree, you really should start watching. It’s an excellent show. Shmiracles, I love the 9th as well. He’s the one that got me watching. Love him even with his big monkey ears :) I love drinking this tea in my Tardis disappearing and reappearing mug.
i’m having my third cup of this tea today. the scent keeps lingering in my nose and makes me wanna drink more and more.
Oh how I love Dr. Who!!! I just ordered the entire collection boxed set from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Limited-Gift-Set/dp/B009GYTOZ8/ref=sr_1_6?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1354162348&sr=1-6&keywords=dr+who) I can’t wait to receive it!
My youngest daughter wore her fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) scarf today and carried jelly babies. No one recognized the scarf, so no one got jelly babies! My godson cosplays as ninth Doctor, and you should see the fanboys AND girls go nuts.
cheer up! hugs
May there be sunshine from the inside out :)
aww…hope your tea is the perfect “pick me up” to turn your mood around.
