Welcome to November! Good grief, how?
I’m participating in Nanowrimo again this year. I’ve done it many times before, and I love the structure of writing, it helps keep me focused.
I am also about to go into tech week and opening for the show I am in, plus the ordinary work I need to do…..
Why do I do this to myself?
Help me, Emperors Bride! I need a touch of something lovely to start the day!

Ah, I feel you. Absolutely no idea how it can be November already?!

My cunning plan to encourage fall with my selection of tea flavors is not working. October ignores me in favor of summer heat.
Oh well, I have lovely teas anyway.
This one is really nice. Its fruity without being too sweet, which is a nice change for my cupboard!

I am someone who is an armature theatrical, so please forgive my drama when I say “Whyyyy is it only Tuesday?”
I think it’s going to be one of those weeks wherein things do not go right, and my baseline will be overwhelm.
So! Nice tea to ease me into the day.
I really do like this. It’s an unusual fruitness to it (the quince?), but so interesting that I always go back in for another sip!

Quince has been sneaking into several recent reviews, and since I’m clueless, I consulted gardensillustrated.com: The taste of quince is citrusy, but gentler and without the sharpness of a lime or lemon, so it can be a brightener of other flavours – the fruity component in a tagine, the lemony note in an apple pie – or can stand alone, baked mellow and pink (as the yellow flesh turns on slow cooking) with the spices of the season.

I am in the mood for a delightful and fruity tea, and this very neatly fits the bill. Yum!
Its fruity without being too sweet, but each sip creates an interest that sends me back for more.
I shall have to get some more of this.

Ooh…I hopped over to read the description on the tea page. This sounds lovely.

(Although…I don’t know that I’ve ever tasted quince! It just sounds nice and old-fashioned.)

This is a richly malty breakfast blend. I’m an intermittent explorer into the world of breakfast teas, and this one seems nice. I think it would take milk pretty well.

I found a 3.5 oz tin of this at TJ Maxx for $2.99. $2.99. SCORE!

Note to self: gunpowder tea is SOOPER caffeinated. I’m jittery and my heart is racing after two cups. And the second cup was resteeped.

That said, this tea is also incredibly tasty. I don’t normally like green teas but this tea is bold, dark, slightly smoky, slightly dry, and 100% delicious. I love this so much.

I have gotten two steeps from the leaves, and it is still going strong. I can probably get at least another 2-3 steeps in but I think I should stop and let my heart achieve a resting heart rate again first.

I found the same thing at Marshall’s! They also had Keemun black. :)

Guess I’ll have to go to Marshall’s this weekend! As if I need more tea…

Okay, I’m cheating here. This is actually a chocolate bar. http://tea-room.stores.yahoo.net/michbarinwih.html

But what a chocolate bar! And it has tea in it! The taste is delicious, and there are most definitely strong caramel notes here. The fact that they are coming from a tea makes it even more awesome since they are so strong. I don’t get much honeybush flavour, and I think I’d love this even more if the chocolate was a tad darker, but you know what? This is still one darn delicious chocolate bar. With tea in it!

This is almost like drinking chamomile on steroids: it has a surprisingly rich flavor for a tisane. A very pleasant brew.

A fragrant, opulent tea that’s suitable for serving to company. A dear friend of mine brought this to me from Savannah, and I brewed every leaf.
