Ok so I am finally not too busy to write a tasting note!! Ok, first of all, news
If you just want to read about the tea, skip to the last paragraph
So this weekend has been hectic, well the last few weeks anyways..as we have been..house shopping! Yes, me and the guy have been looking at houses, searching online, etc etc..and we finally found it! Our house! And, WE GOT IT! For less than we budgeted too! I am sooo excited! It’s been super busy, and now the guy is off to work up north for 10 days, so I will have a fair amount to do this week, but it’s ours, and it’s beautiful! A big garden and fruit trees too, in the city!
and a tea related part!
The wonderful couple we bought it from lived there for over 40 years, and there were tons of teapots in the house! Beautiful ones! Well, we went on the weekend when they were there, and got talking tea! Haha what are the chances! They brought out a bunch of tins for me to smell and everything, and even recommended me a new company based in Vancouver! Crazy haha, tea brings about the randomest things sometimes!
So yes, that is my news. First house! So excited :D
So now..onto this tea..
I have been drinking tea as of late but too busy to log, but tonight I am relaxing and having a wonderful cup of this with a splash of skim milk. Skim doesn’t seem to upset my stomach, so a very good cup tonight! Creamy, tart, a bit astringent, but it’s lemon haha, so it’s ok. I might have steeped it a bit over 2 mins as well, so that could be contributing. Yummy and good on a Monday night! See previous notes.
Wow! Congratulations! I really hope you enjoy your new house :) This is so exciting!
Congrats!
Thanks!! Ahh it’s so exciting, it’s just the one we wanted! It even has shelves and lit cupboards for my teaware :D the cat won’t break any of it again haha
Congratulations! You must be over the moon!
Oh wow, congratulations!! It sounds like a lovely house. I like the part about the big garden with fruit trees.. and place for your teaware!! :D
Wow, congrats! If I were to buy one there, it would be south side or nothing haha.
Congratulations! That’s so awesome. :) (I have to ask though, where did they recommend? I want to visit!)
Congratulations! I can’t wait for that moment to come for my hub and me… someday.
Congrats on the house!
Thanks everyone!! Yes the fruit trees and garden, which is actually a bunch of raised flowerbeds, will be awesome! And room for teaware of course haha! And Fjellrev don’t worry it’s on the south side of the river haha :D
And @OMGsrsly – they recommended Murchie’s, I looked at a few of their reviews on here and I will definitely have to place an order in the next few months! Looks tasty!
I am SO glad to hear that!
Oh yes! A friend got me (more) Murchie’s for Christmas. :) Their stuff can be quite nice!
That’s amazing news! Congratulations!
Congratulations !!!!! :)
