So I had this for breakfast this morning, and could not have picked better. I’m so glad that every time I revisit this tea, I love it all over again. I far prefer jasmine black to jasmine green, but that’s mostly because I generally don’t like green tea. I’ve figured that my magic steep with this tea is for four minutes, with a generous amount of cream and a normal amount of sugar. I think this is one of the teas I’ll be bringing with me to Toronto.
Oh, tea is so comforting, especially on a morning like this when I seriously had to threaten and bribe myself to even get out of bed. I had a nightmare last night that involved my being suspected of killing someone, only the authorities hadn’t caught onto it somehow, and so I was just, like, living in constant fear and it was awful. Then i woke up, took forever to feel relieved and convince myself it was indeed a dream, and then fell back asleep into the same dream again! Anyway, so because I spent the night participating in terrifying dreams, I don’t feel as rested as I probably actually am. Thankfully we only work a half day today (although everyone is so giddy and full of holiday cheer that I wonder if we’ll get much done haha).

My most recent dream involved General Patraeus, an infinitely long school bus and live eels. Don’t ask for context, that is all I remember.

Wow, that’s a nasty dream… certain dreams just stay with you for a while, don’t they? Hope you can relax now that you know for sure you’re not a serial killer :-)

Thank heavens I’m not, eh? and it’s funny how your terror feels so real in your dreams.

Bio

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.
