Floating on air
As far as we’re concerned, the root beer float is king of the soda shop. The crackle and fizz of root beer, the cool richness of vanilla ice cream – what could be better? Well, what if we brought the malt shop right to your tea shelf? With black tea, vanilla, cinnamon and white chocolate, this sweet, lightly creamy black tea blend tastes just like the classic treat. For the full experience, try it as an iced latte with lots of foam.

Ingredients: Organic: black tea from Sri Lanka, vanilla, cinnamon, white chocolate, safflower.

Much better than the Cherry Cola released at the same time but still pretty bad. Avoid.

This tea is almost too accurate to taste, ahaha. Every time I drank it I was like, “ooh I want a root beer now.” Which completely defeats the purpose of a tea substitute.

I’m not sure if they’re still carrying this, but I found it best with sugar. The sweet really brings out the vanilla and cinnamon notes of this and makes it taste like a flat soda. I just miss the bubbles.

I kept a pitcher of this tea in my fridge at all times over the summer. It’s delicious.

This tea was weird hot, and really weird cold. That being said, I steeped it in some soda water, and thoroughly enjoyed it….. root beer without the calories and sugar!

I had this first as an iced tea, which was delicious and made me feel like I really drinking root beer (hey, does David’s Teas do iced lattes? If they do, that would make it a true root beer float). It’s also nice hot, although a little less root beer-y and a little stronger.

A root beer doesn’t taste like root beer.

Smells very nice though! They definite made it smell like real root beer. I think I can use it as a air freshener lol. The taste is disappointing. I don’t add sugar in my tea, maybe that will taste better?

UPDATE: I gave the rest away to my friend. He said it taste totally like root beer….I guess I have to go get some more :P

UPDATE 2: Well, sorry to say, I still can’t get it to taste like root beer.

I was really excited when this came out, but it is not for me – I tried it both iced and hot :(

Now that they’ve brought it back, I can comfortably sipdown what I have been hoarding since they discontinued it last! I’m so beyond broke right now, but I MUST STUFF one of their new bigger tins with Root Beer Float and Cotton Candy. A Pride tumbler would be nice too but we’ll see…I mentioned it to my sister and my birthday is in a week so i feel like she’ll probably get it for me…

Had this cold steeping in a 24ish oz mason jar from about 4pm last night til now (a little before 9am). I knew I was going to have a crazy night at work, and knew I’d need a pick me up in the morning and boy was I right. Ugh, so tired.

But dogs guys. Dogs are freaking GENIUSES when it comes to emotional crap. Bobo, a standard poodle, who I’ve known since the day I started at this job (though I’ve been “on call” for the last year and a bit after being laid off from my full time position due to cutbacks) back in early 2012, crawled into bed with me to snuggle for the first time EVER last night. I ended up sharing the single size cot with Bobo, Murphy (golden retriever), Mojo (another golden), Mudflap (basset hound), and Molly (labXdane). How we all wedged on there comfortably is beyond me but hoboy did I need it.

Still looking at heading to hospital on Wednesday morning though, blargle. :( Mental illness sucks guys, it really really sucks.

anywho, I stuffed a couple filter bags with leaf, filled the jar about 3/4 of the way, let steep for however long that was (math is hard..), then added a wee bit of fizzy water just to brighten it up a bit in hopes of the fizz waking my brains up a bit better.

Just waiting for the morning person to get her so I can go home and shower and get ready for the Pride parade. Don’t feel up to following it to the park at the end (too many people) so a buddy and I (who are watching the parade together) are going for tea and pho before I have to be back at work for 5pm. woo. I hope I still have Molly and Murphy here tonight…

Sil

mmmmmm tea and pho! sounds like a great time!

The Pride tumbler looks great, but it’s not leakproof. Alas.

It seems like you’re being really responsible about addressing your mental illness. That’s no small thing.

Enjoy the parade!

OMGsrsly

Hope you have a good day! :)

Bear With Me

All I can say is:
Tomorrow will be spent doing nothing but drinking tea in my papasan chair.
Is it Tuesday yet?
I REALLY hope Tuesday goes well so I don’t have to go to PES Wednesday…
It was a LOT “easier” to be a youth with a mental illness.
The government (specifically its cutbacks) is going to be the death of me.
Socializing is EXHAUSTING!!!
Animals > humans.
