I had this in my timolino at work, and not surprisingly, it fit the bill. I actually wish I had a second round to get me through the afternoon. I may have under-creamed it though, and I still think I’d prefer this one in a regular, open mug, but it’s still a winner either way. I’m also wearing a slightly woodsy vanilla perfume today, and I find that the scent of the tea and perfume mingle nicely, and combined, feel very appropriate for the grey, fall weather.
Oh gosh, wishing so desperately i had more tea with me—I’m already beginning to feel myself come up against a wall of insurmountable sleepiness. I remember when I was a student (in the very near past, mind you), I could just take a nap whenever I felt tired; alas, I don’t have access to that same luxury anymore. Not being able to nap when I need to is probably one of the worst aspects of living a normal adult life.

I hear you on that!! Too bad we don’t have siestas here :P

Try splashing cold water on your face?

No kidding. Siestas are definitely the way to go. At least some cultures in the world understand the importance of sleep.
I may have to resort to cold water eventually. Pretending i’m more awake than I am is taking up even more energy LOL.

I feel you. I nap almost every day at 5pm when I get off work. I wish I could nap at 2 or 3pm though.

Yeah, 2 or 3 pm is about when I start (or continue) fading also. I don’t know how some people maintain the same level of energy throughout the day.

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
