Back to work tomorrow. If I hadn’t felt so lousy, the past several days would’ve seemed like a mini-vacation: feet up, rocking chair, crocheting, binge watches (That Girl and Moonlighting), finished a couple books…and finally, enough going on in the tastebud regions to enjoy a good cuppa this afternoon.
I wouldn’t have pegged this as a Darjeeling had I not read up on it first. The leaves were a nice melange of brown and green, and it steeped to the color of a new penny. One of my office favorites is a Tetley’s black and green blend—this reminds me of a fresher, more elegant version. The Palais des Thes description mentions “planty notes,” which come across nicely in the flavor and “floral notes,” which are more evident in the scent.

Finished a couple books? That’s impressive! I read every day, but I’m a super slow reader, so I only finish 1-2 a month. Ha, teach me your tricks!
Clarification: finished a couple that I had been milking day by day and bubble bath by bubble bath for weeks :) Nothing from scratch! One of them was from the Irish Country Series from Patrick Taylor, if you like gentle reads. Think All Creatures Great and Small with a saltier, feistier people doctor.
I’m always adding to my reading list, but rarely seem to finish books these days. I do like the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith for a nice easy read.
Seconded! I’m a few behind, I think—last title I read was The House of Unexpected Sisters. I am amazed at his prolific-icity. Another one that’s on my stack for a re-read isn’t part of a series: La’s Orchestra Saves the World.
