60 Tasting Notes

Attempt #2! Let it steep for a bit less time and it’s not quite so strong. I just bought agave syrup today which I’ve been using in my tea and I am quite enjoying the different level of sweetness. It’s not so cloying!

Tried it again this morning; sweetened it with agave syrup instead of white sugar and it was not quite so sweet. No milk needed with this — wouldn’t want to hide the slight spice.

drank Coconut by Adagio Teas

Simple and plain, but warm and comforting. I love coconut! I burned my tongue several times in my impatience to try this. I need a lot of milk in this because it’s just a bit too strong.

Probably my least favourite Cara M blend, but still enjoyable. This came in a ‘ship’ with River Song, so I wonder what would happen if I combined the two next time I try it…

Fruity with a hint of mint. This tasted best for me once it had cooled down just a touch.

Earl Grey for Rory, Irish Breakfast for Amy, with a bit of blueberry for the now-quiet TARDIS. Added sugar and just a touch of cream and then watched The Angels Take Manhattan and cried into my mug.

Such a sad episode. Can’t bring myself to watch the first half of the season again because I know how it will end. Can’t wait to see the Christmas episode!! Have you seen the Adventure Calendar? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p011gpsb/features/doctor-who-adventure-calendar-2012

Ahhhh yes I know I love the advent calendars! I wasn’t a huge Amy fan until the last half of Season 6. Now I adore her. I’ve done a Time of Angels cosplay for Comic Con next year and it’s such a fun costume!

Fun! So jealous :) I’ve wanted to go to Comic Con, but there is absolutely no way I could ever afford it.

Valerie

Yeah it’s super pricey; I’ve been saving up for a while now. Even if it pans out, there are a couple closer to me like Emerald City Comic Con. :D

Shmiracles

oh goodness thank you for this link! i didn’t know about it and now i have it book marked.
i’ve been to dragon con in Atlanta GA twice, and a handful of smaller cons including katsucon. it’s never dull and even the small slightly depressing ones are worth the time like nothing else hah.

Em

Do you cosplay too, Shmiracles? There’s one in Columbus, Ohio I thought about going to. Also, would love to go to a Doctor Who convention :)

Shmiracles

There’s that big Doctor Who one called Chicago Tardis that might be convenient for you to get to? I’ve never been, but I always end up in Chicago during Thanksgving time and consider abandoning my boyfriend’s family for scifi fun!
i don’t cosplay really. i just do little things like wear a bowtie and suspenders with my button up shirt and jean skirt. (i call it my lazy eleven outfit.) or cuz i’m a runner i do races dressed as supergirl. which is also a lazy costume of a red miniskirt, a superman t-shirt, and a red riding hood cape. or when i wear my thermal green running hoodie on trail runs, i think of green arrow.
now watch this!

This is my favourite tea I’ve tried so far from Adagio! I tried it while at work and my coworker was so intrigued by the scent that I made her a cup of it as well. The earl grey moonlight has the extra cream and sweetness already in the leaves, and the lemon and coconut soften it so nicely. It’s warm and cozy and it smells divine in the bag.

It’s not my favourite Cara M blend — I think it’s the blackerry? It’s pretty strong so I added a lot of cream and sugar and that softened my second attempt. It sure is pretty, though!

drank Gemini by Adagio Teas
60 tasting notes

I bought this tea because I’m a Gemini. And because it sounded sweet and divine. I wasn’t paying attention when I made it and only put a teaspoon of leaves in the filter for my 8oz Starbucks tumblr, but I steeped it an extra minute or so and it was quite flavourful and intense. I think this will taste really good as iced tea in the summer, too!
