I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!

Haven’t drank much tea today because me and my mam had an afternoon in the sun with wine and beer to celebrate. Now I’m drinking this to get rid of my headache! I can’t drink like I used to. Peppermint and lemongrass with a tart hibiscus edge. Am I getting something spicy?? I swear I have a slight heat building in the back of my throat, but I can’t see any ingredients listed that would cause that. Hmm…

Congratulations! I told ya’ :D
What are you gonna do?

Nattie

Thank you so much everyone!! <3
@Martin – I’m going to be an adult social carer, supporting people with different care needs (: I’m so happy to be able to do something worthwhile and actually help people! And it’ll help me get into the area of mental health work I want to do eventually.

Martin Bednář

Wow! Great, indeed something worthwhile and helpful. More of those people!

gmathis

We learned from experience with both my parents that a home care worker who genuinely loves the people she works with is a rare and precious thing. Good for you!

Nattie

Thank you @Martin (:
@gmathis – I’m sorry you had that experience with your parents. If I can support even one person in living the best, most independent life they can, and make them feel like they are being treated with love, respect and dignity, then I will feel like I am on the right path. Hopefully that’s something I will be able to do in this new job a lot better than I could at the bar!

This tea is a collection of things I generally dislike or outright hate. But I needed sleep (and to fall asleep quickly) before a flight last week, so I made myself a giant mug, and dosed it liberally with honey. The honey made it palatable, though I can’t tell you what it tasted like, and I fell asleep in short order, so at the very least it certainly didn’t do any harm. Perhaps I’ll return to it in the future for some more evening dosing.

Earthy and minty with a touch of lemongrass is what I get from this tea. With a touch of honey is how I like this one best. The honey seems to bring out a bit more lemon flavour I think. A nice feel better and relax tea.

I was sitting here for a while wondering what I should drink as a good night time tea… and it just occurred to me I had gotten this in Davids Tea advent calendar and had skipped over it because chamomile is like a warm blanket to me… puts me right to sleep. Loving the strong peppermint flavour, and i’m loving how bold the chamomile flavour is as well! It’s got a hint of some floral notes as well. I better get going, wow this night time tea has got valerian root as well… i’ll be sleeping in no time. Glad I put this on my next order, can’t wait, it’s like christmas all over again!

This is my go-to night time tea. It has an excellent flavor.
It has helped countless times, allowing me to relax before bed time.
It has a mostly minty flavor with a slight hint of fruity. It’s balanced greatly!

I bought a small amount of this to try as a sleepy time tea. I tried it hot first and was so grossed out I couldn’t finish the cup. The mint and valerian root are extremely overpowering. I couldn’t taste anything else. I tried this one iced with the same unfortunate results. I just don’t think I like valerian root. I won’t be buying this one again.

Surprisingly hadn’t tried this tea till now, so I used a free tea on it. For some reason I always thought it was for mothers, and since I’m not a mother, I never tried it. But apparently its a good night time tea as well. This tea is actually pretty good. Minty, but fruity as well. Its really kind of soothing. I like.

I enjoy mint flavoured tea a lot, but something about this tea I didn’t love. Most likely the camomile since I had a tea perviously that I hated with that primary ingredient. Otherwise it’s not too bad (Given to me as a gift)

This is the first tea that I tried and didn’t like. It’s in every DavidsTea collection, it’s a fan favourite, and everybody is always telling me how great it is. Yet, I still don’t get it. When I tried it, it was entirely flavourless. It sincerely tasted like nothing. I want to like this tea, since every time I see a collection of tea, it’s there; but I can’t get any flavour from it.
