Today an exam. 0 points. Really?

Long story short: I made it differently and it would not work if used in different part of program. But still it made my day bitter.

When I came home, I found out that my Farmerleaf order (from 15th April) is waiting for me at customs. There is no tax on it, but it needs to be cleared through customs. So – trip to Prague tomorrow. 164 km on rails one way. At least I will think about something else. Maybe a good thing.

I was not really sure what tea I want to drink, going through my stash of puerhs, tea bags, all teas I have. And then I still ended with family cupboard and found out this one. As there is today +35°C (95 F), this sounds pretty refreshing.

Strawberry – check
Mint – Check

Good start. Both mains are present in aroma as well in taste. Pretty light, yet red colour and clear. I am impressed, usually some dust goes off of the tea bag. Not this time.

It cools down soo slowly.

But the taste is not changing… it is what it says. Strawberry & Mint.
Yep, quite fruity and quite refreshing. Probably iced will be better.

Flavors: Mint, Strawberry

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 10 OZ / 300 ML

I’m sorry you had a bad day! Can you retake the exam?

Strawberry/mint is one of my favorite summer combinations. A rail trip to Prague—-to you, that’s no doubt a normal thing; to me, it sounds lovely and adventurous! (Bear in mind that my normal “adventure” is to Walmart or Dollar General to buy cat food :)

Martin Bednář

Haha, I understand, don’t worry. But you are right, it is kind of nothing for me. I travelled this way so many times.

That’s quite the trek to get a package that presumably should have arrived directly where you are living! I get ticked off when I miss a delivery at my house and have to drive 5 min away to the post office to pick it up!

Kittenna – well, story is following. It finally arrived to the Czech Republic, but it has stucked at customs because value is higher than 22€. So I had to declare, how much I actually paid and VAT was charged on me. And as there is only one customs post office, and that is in Prague, I had to go there to declare it.

There was of course second opinion and that was giving a post office a “Power of attorney” but it is “forever” and I am not fan of it giving my personal information forever. Of course I can cancel it anytime. Moreover, it would be for me more expensive, naturally.

Kittenna

Sheesh. Glad it worked out (saw your other note!)
