okay, I stand corrected, the 3min steep is the optimal time for this tea (yay scientific method!)
this tea is incredibly heavy on the cinnamon, has a smooth black tea base and there’s… something? that sort of clings to the tongue in a pleasant earthy-acid way — reminds me of the way hibiscus has a very specific taste!
it’s an overtly winter brew, and I wish they had more teas they made specifically for each season; alas, not all seasons have a ‘magical’ (consumerist) … vibe, I guess?

(on a personal note, my advisor FINALLY started reviewing my thesis, yay! enjoying this tea as I listen to the new Capitão Fausto album and continue trying to find stuff to cut to send my work to a conference as well)

That is great news on your thesis!

Sofia Vaz

thank you so much ashmanra :) it sucks to deal with all the corrections, but hopefully I won’t have to hound the man in the near future

Sofia Vaz — at least your advisor is reviewing it, unlike mine :/ (bitter memories a year back)

Sofia Vaz

ooooh Martin, I feel you; I had to wait for my advisor to move for three whole weeks (!!!) and this is the second time I’ve written my thesis in its entirety, the other time I had to keep reminding him for two weeks as well
(to note that I had to rewrite because, in his words, the thesis lacked orientation; funny to hear that from your advisor, which in Portuguese is orientador, AKA he who gives orientation)

I understand advisors are busy people but…… do your job please? ADVISE US!!
