Goodbye, last cup of Victoria. This tea had the prettiest silvertips. Oh, silvertips.

I was slightly hungover from drinking half a bottle of wine last night, so I chose this tea! (Yes, I am as much as lightweight as Sherlock & John.) The mint really stood out to me and that was mostly what came through.

I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would, considering I love almonds, assam, and flowers. Should have had it with biscuits ;)

Really beautiful tea. Not so much cherry as almondy, and not overpowering.

Really lovely brioche tea on a snowy morning. It jumped out at me, and now I know why – good choice!

Also, Marie Antoinette never said ‘let them eat cake’ – it was someone else entirely, and she mostly likely said ‘let them eat brioche’ (i’m reading this epically long wiki list about popular misconceptions)

I don’t smell the roses, but I recognize the gunpowder. And currants? Anyway, it’s amusing to drink a Sherlock tea, and I’m already 404% done with today so.

Hmm, I love Harney and peaches and ginger, but this one – while it smells amazing – has too much artificial flavor/sweetener and I can’t really deal. Oh well, it’s the last of it in the house.

Woke up in a bad mood – wish I were in Miami Beach!

Drinking a second cup at my desk, but secretly wishing I was reading Mad_Maudlin’s Sherlock fic on AO3 instead. Alas!

Pineapple, nuts, oats? This is an interesting tea I got as a holiday gift. Definitely real tea, though. Pretty tasty, actually.

It’s yoga day, and I’m still recovering from last night’s watch of the Sherlock S3 finale, in a better mood than most days. Plus I got more Lemony Gunpowder to have after lunch.

I’m drinking Harney’s Earl Grey Supreme and Lemony Gunpowder again today, but I had Super Ginger with dinner last night, which was a spicy pad thai my housemade made, and it was a super fancy dinner at home. I’m feeling better today because I switched to Zyrtec-D and now my head isn’t a giant stuffed balloon.
