Sipdown (1467)!
I woke up earlier today than I wanted to, and by quite a bit. We have new neighbors in the apartment above ours and they’re absurdly loud – it’s frustrating too because they aren’t loud in the way where you can hear music or shouting. Instead it’s like they’re bowling in their living room – just tons and tons of thumping noises. With how the apartments are set up, their living room is essentially overlaps my bedroom – and they create so much thumping that sometimes the mugs on my bookshelves just gentle rattle as the basket infuser in them knock ever so slightly against the walls of the mugs. So that’s what was happening this morning – at 7AM on a fucking Sunday.
In fact – as I’m writing this tasting note now, I can hear that same “thudding” noise.
So I steeped this one up early in the day as I grumpily got up and needed a hit of caffeine to put up with however long that bullshit was going to be happening. I actually like this a surprising amount – and that was actually true of the other random tea that I tried from this company, so maybe I was being unnecessarily judgmental about these teabags? The maple is smooth, sweet and coating with a pleasantly fruity undertone to it. Overall there’s a lot more of the maple than the cinnamon, and with that kind of boozier red fruit & amaretto hint of the flavour, it almost gives me Christmas vibes?
I don’t think I could get on board with this particular type of maple flavour all the time, but definitely hit the spot this morning.
Difficult new neighbours suck. Sorry that you are dealing with this too. Mine also thump and thud early in the morning and late at night. both of them and their two kids do various types of workouts, with and without equipment. So yay! And likely I am hearing their intimate life through the night. And then there are all the wireless devicesthat kept me awake. Gah! Hopefully, , yours will calm down once they get properly moved in and organized.
My mom and I had those same upstairs neighbors it seems like because we used to say exactly the same thing it sounds like they are bowling. They had a kid and it sounded like he would just drop a bowling bowl all night and all day down the stairs. xD
Oh dear. did you move?
