Iced Latte Sipdown (199)

Perfect with a bit of caramel syrup. Yum.

Yesterday I got my grades and passed everything so I officially passed law school!! Today I woke up and weighed myself and lost about 4 lbs. I am not doing anything in particular – just trying to overall make healthier choices. Then I had a therapy call. Needless to say I was feeling good so I danced and made a cute breakfast and then had to make a tea to go with it. My breakfast was a blueberry cheesecake smoothie bowl and so I grabbed the first blueberry tea I thought of. I then spilled this and made a mess everywhere. I had about 3/4 left in the cup though (you’d think I spilled the whole thing by how flooded my tea counter was) so when I finished I was able to take my breakfast outside and just relax and appreciate the day. Now I’m procrastinating studying again by posting about my breakfast all over Instagram (check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CO3NZHoA4hc/?igshid=1rgop0ebyyb4) and now writing about it (and the tea) here.

The tea is quite nice. A lot of brown sugar and blueberry notes. It’s a little astringent but not overly so and that could be because it’s at an odd Luke warm/cool temperature. Overall it’s nice though and I’m glad I have more to explore.

Cold Brew Sipdown (200)

The other day Roswell Strange mentioned enjoying this as a cold brew so that’s what I did with the last of the leaf. It’s still glittery, which is delightful. I also do think it’s better as a cold brew than a hot tea. It has a much truer berry flavor.

Today’s iced latte with added caramel which is becoming my nightly snack it seems. This actually is pretty tasty. The first few sips were mostly caramel from the syrup but since then it’s been a lot of thick, fudgey brownie notes. Reminds me of Pudtea’s Caramel Brownie tea, which I enjoyed a lot, so this is a nice find given Pudtea is on indefinite hiatus.

Thank you for the share, Sil!

This one was nice and to me tasted like raisins and honey. The honey I’m supposed to get but I don’t see raisin or muscatel or anything of that nature in the description. So perhaps that’s just me. I enjoyed it though.

This was an alright tea and made a nice latte with some added caramel. However, it’s not a tea I need more of now that it’s gone.
