Additional notes: This one might be improving with time? Or my parameters? So I just want to make a note of parameters that I should use. It really did taste like Red Velvet today… or at least Red Velvet Pop Tarts which is my only knowledge of the flavor of Red Velvet. Raising the rating from 83.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for full mug // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 5+ minutes (maybe doesn’t need to be that long)
2020 Sipdowns: 35 (52Teas – Frank’s Caramel Monkey Bread Rooibos – not sad about it because Anne’s reblend is EXACT.)
And here is a song I particularly like, and fitting for me wondering about the craziness of opening things back up for the virus to spread right now. Certain people will be living in denial or just pretending it’s gone… or even being less careful if they think they’ve already had it… sigh: Jim James cover of Beach Boys ‘I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBWe7ntARxY

The UK has reduced lockdown measures too, and people are taking that as the go-ahead to crowd into trains like sardines, pack parks and beaches, and start visiting everyone they know. In the space of a couple of weeks our death rate from the virus has risen from 200 back up to 500. It’s making me so angry that people are so ignorant and selfish. Sorry about the rant, I meant to just say ‘I agree’.
I was just at B&B’s site and as I felt tempted, I thought, I’d come here instead lol. I’ve been so good about not buying any new tea except for my cupboard favorites. The shipping from all places is crazy right now too. I had ordered something for the cats from Australia over a month ago, and have been trying to track it. Impossible. (You all stay safe. It is crazy times.)
Not a rant, Nattie. I get it. :/
Kawaii – I’m sure Steepster has prevented many an order (but definitely also caused MANY. haha)
