Fantastical cacao tea, you’re next. I steeped this in my Timolino for over half-an-hour. I honestly lost track of the time. I love how despite it steeping for that long, it’s still piping hot in there.
I like this just as much, if not more, than the strawberry variety. I don’t really care that it’s on the thinner side. I just love the flavour. Deep chocolate. Reminds me of the hot cocoa my grandma makes with Fry’s cocoa. None of that gross overly sugared up hot chocolate mix.
Now I’m tempted to brew more before heading back out. Actually, I wonder if I should try leaving the basket in the Timolino and just sip it as I go with the dry leaf in there? This may call for an experiment.
Maybe more tea will keep me full too. Today’s a weird ghrelin-gone-haywire day. For those who don’t know, it’s basically a hormone which induces hunger, and unfortunately, increases during periods of stress and/or lack of sleep. I just ate 700+ calories for lunch and I’m still hungry despite waiting for nearly 45 minutes, but I have to suck it up since I like to aim for 1200-1400 calories per day. Whine whine whine. Let’s hope more tea will trick my body and make it stop.

I want to eat everything today, too. All the foods. Preferably twice.
Yay! I love this one too.
I felt like that a few days ago too. I would finish eating, and I would start all over again. I’m usually not that person, but thank goodness it seems to have passed now.
Argh, too bad there isn’t a magical tea to counterbalance the Eat All the Things Syndrome.
Just drink tea till you’re sloshing, and you won’t want any food. Ahem. (Disclaimer: Don’t try this at home unless you are an experienced tea drinker. Or are willing to get Tea Drunk.)
Word! That sometimes works, especially with herbals which eliminate the tea drunkenness problem, but it’s annoying to have to run back and forth to the washroom. :)
Haha. Yeah, I really didn’t think that through. I need to leave in 30 minutes to run errands and pick up a friend from work.
