Happy New Year! Okay, okay. I’m a bit late on that but today is the first day I’ve had to work since 2010 began so the new year officially became… well, official to me today.
I’m feeling a bit conflicted today. There’s good and bad going on with life, but fortunately the bad isn’t all that bad. I mean, it’s insanely cold outside but at least it isn’t snowing. I was running late this morning but at least I wasn’t running absurdly late (though it was close). On the full-on plus side, my favoritest podcast ever is back after over a year of being off the air, so booyah. But on the bad-but-could-be-worse side, I’m almost out of this tea. But I’ve got enough for one, maybe two more cups after today. And that is sad (but at least I didn’t run out of it today).
I love this tea. It’s overwhelming taste/feel is that of bake-y delight. But I came to the realization today that it wasn’t just plain ole bake-y. It was stone-baked bake-y. It’s like the difference between a pizza and a stone-baked pizza. Except for, you know, the tomato sauce. And the cheese. And the crust. So basically it just… the bake-y bit. But a good quality, comforting bake-y bit that made me think warm and toasty thoughts. Not a frou-frou, delicate little cookie bake-y. Tough bake-y. A hearty bake-y. A manly bake-y. Don’t worry, that’s a good thing.
And a good tea. Mmm. Bake-y.

Auggy, what’s your favorite podcast?
And this review made me LAUGH. Manly bake-y almost seems like an oxymoron. I picture the Brawny man in an apron, putting cookies in the oven and smiling with that smarmy smile of his!
@teaplz, Japundit/Japan Talk podcast. It’s news (usually odd) from Japan broken up by usually 3 more indie-group type songs. It’s fun!
@Angrboda, I’m not sure how I feel about that but every time I think of it, it makes me laugh! :)
@Auggy I’m gonna have some of this today now. I do like the bake-y.
@Angrboda Oh god, yes. HAHAHAHA!

Ever watched The Emperor’s New Groove? Manly bake-y is so Kronk. :D

Hahah, me too! First day back at work. I was not told we had off last week so I went into an empty office =(
Baking delight sounds great, but what is the base? Tea from India, darjeeling or Assam. My guess Assam?
