Shae’s ADVENT CALENDAR, December 11
I am pretty much feeling same as Shae did exactly 8 months ago. Next week an exam period starts, I feel I know nothing, as distant learning isn’t my jam, I have to finish many things, we are baking Christmas goodies and overall preparing for them. So much to do, so little time.
I wans’t really sure what to expect from this herbal tisane. I notice mostly mint when dry with kind of musty note. But don’t want to rate tea based on its smell.
I prepared two teaspoons grandpa in 300 ml (not pictured today) mug. It was a very comforting blend, while mints prevail but I think I get some other, though bit generic, herbal note. It coated my throat well anyway and it was smooth.
Overall, an interesting blend of violets (don’t recognize them in), galium aparine is a herb I haven’t seen in tea blends yet. Also known as velcro plant or cleavers. We call it Svízel přítula, which means something like Cuddly Trouble-plant. A mint combination with lemon balm worked well.

Flavors: Herbs, Mint, Smooth
I’m feeling off today – headache, unsettled stomach. Could be nerves, I don’t know. We have some storms coming through tomorrow, which always puts me on edge here in Dixie Alley. So I’m having a nice mint tea to hopefully settle things down a bit. This tisane was part of an herbal CSA I joined last month through the Rowan + Sage Patreon. The blend consists of violet flowers, cleaver greens, stinging nettle, spearmint, and lemon balm, though I’m really only tasting the mint right now. I’m good with that. Not wanting anything complicated today.
Flavors: Mint
Stay safe! We have the same front coming here tomorrow night. Supposed to be a doozie.
I had to look what do you mean with “Dixie Alley”, but then I completely understood your feelings.
Yesterday was a productive day, but today I just woke up and I am over-thinking everything. I need to settle my nerves a bit as well.
From Tornado Alley in SW Missouri, I totally understand the unsettlement! Great peace be with you today.
mrmopar, be safe tonight! It definitely does look like a doozie. Hopefully it will calm down a bit before it gets to your area. It’s just coming into Alabama now.
Martin, I hope you’re feeling better! I can sympathize with you on the overthinking. Especially lately with all that’s been going on, it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed. Do you have tornadoes where you are? Trying to find a new location without so many natural disasters, lol. :)
gmathis, oh goodness I know you understand!! I hope you’re staying safe today without any weather craziness.
Shae: then Czech Republic is wonderful place to live in. Unless you want to be interested in politics – that is just sooooo baaaad here. So, almost no tornados (very, but really very rare here – one per year, if even), no floods, but few last years were really dry. Where are spring showers? They aren’t anymore. Sometimes some wildfires, but nothing like California or Australia.
I have to say, it’s quite nice place to live in. Unless some other things. And we have great beers! Haha.
And yes, in the afternoon something broke and I was able to finish my semester thesis. Now I just need to do a slideshow and this wil be over. I will have to do something else too, unfortunately. I am somehow overwhelmed with stuff to do.
Cuddly Trouble-plant is the best name ever.
I love the sheen of the green thread in your photo. The song reminds me a little of the mellow bits of That’s The Way I Always Heard It Should Be by Carly Simon. :)
That tea blend looks very interesting. That plant/weed grows here and I can attest to the fact that it sticks to things! It’s pretty and lacey looking but it clings to gardening gloves and clothing. In the ‘old days,’ it used to be used to stuff mattresses. lol
Nice photo composition!
Cameron B. it is honestly translated way too literally, but I liked it that way.
ashmanra: I liked it as well; that hint of detail that was missing yesterday. I listened to that song and indeed it got some similar parts :)
White Antlers: yep, it is really common here as well and yes, it sticks a lot on everything. I can’t imagine filling an mattress with it though!
Martin I think the reasons it was used for mattresses were #1 it was plentiful and #2 most important, unlike hay, which slides around and gets lumpy, this sticks to itself so it made a more uniform stuffing.
I hope you’re feeling better today, Martin. Mint tea has been very comforting to me lately too. I’m glad this one showed up on a day that you needed it.
Also, this has been quite an informative thread!
