I’m working slower on this one than normal, and haven’t opened it up since last winter. Today was a tumbler fuel day, and it helped me drive through this creeping, gray ice we’re getting in Michigan right now. There’s something about this tea’s flavor that does better in the winter. It’s too bold for summer or fall, but it’s odd, silent intensity of citrus, vanilla, malt, and florals suits itself to the severe cold. Amaretto is a note this time in it’s viscous texture-there’s something about this tea that make me want to pour it over the rocks like a pure, sweet liquor. Eastteaguy and derk already wrote almond, and that’s the association I’m getting tonight.
I’m also a little on edge after listening to the prologue of a Wheel of Time: Eye of the World in Rosamund Pike’s voice. I had a hard time finishing it the first time I read the book nine years ago, but her voice gives a weight and seriousness that weighs me into the story. “The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend…”
Flavors: Amaretto, Cherry, Citrus, Cream, Dark Chocolate, Malt, Peach, Scotch, Smooth, Vanilla

I feel like I should do a reread of Wheel of Time for the new show but the task is so daunting..
Also, this tea was not on my radar but it is now!
My first note is actually 5 years old, and it’s one of my personal favorite on-smoked Lapsang Blacks. Alistair only carries this one seasonally, and it’s expensive, but I personally liked this one more than even some Wuyi Origin ones.
My partner binged the show all weekend and we just picked up the first two books today!
What do you guys think about the books and the TV series so far?
I’ve been working sadly, but Lex loved the show! She wasn’t sure at the start, but by the end she was hooked!
I haven’t started the TV series yet but everyone I’ve heard from has enjoyed it so far! Looking forward to picking it up when things get less busy on my end.
The books, while not perfect(repetitive in places, Nynaeve’s meme-worthy braid pulling, etc.),were a great extended comfort read. I never knew the pain of waiting for each book to come out or being annoyed with how little ground was covered in various volumes though, since I read them as a completed series in 2013-2014. They were fun!
