Well, the good news is that despite waking up exhausted, I don’t feel nearly as compelled to pack my bags and move to rageville this morning. Even still, I thought a good, angry Russian tea might fit the bill perfectly. This actually ended up being a sample sip down, despite the fact that there was more in the sample bag than for only two servings, but unbeknownst to me, a tiny hole somehow got into the bottom of the package yesterday, and so of course there I was, standing there last night, bag unzipped and inhaling the smell of a campfire, when all of a sudden a river of tea just cascades the hell down my top, and sticks to my recently lotioned skin! uggh. But it was also kind of funny.
Anyway, I had this with my cupcake this morning. It’s a bit of a thinner tea, not in flavour, but in consistency, and I must say I prefer the relative heft of the Queen (obv), but still-I like smoky teas now enough to say that I’d want one on hand, especially in the fall and winter.
And now to sit at my office while it rains, rains, rains. And then I’ll have to swim home.
Hope today goes better!
Thanks! so far so good!!
