I had a surprise waiting for me when I got to the house. An envelope from MirandaGou! If you guys recall, a few weeks ago I was in a state of shock that she had disappeared from Steepster. However, she wrote a note of explanation to go with the teas I received.

This was one of the teas she sent. Generally 52Teas don’t work for me. I don’t order them any longer myself, but it’s nice to try them in swaps. I overleafed slightly, and steeped at both a lower temperature and shorter time. I’m getting banana here with a nuttiness in the background. There is a bread-like flavour in the aftertaste. I’m quite enjoying this cup.

In other news, I spoke with both my psych and conservation profs today. My conservation prof is a sweetheart, and said I could present to the class rather than the department, and we could just have my poster up for the department presentation. She jokingly said we could put a cardboard cutout of me next to it. :P My psych prof said that as long as I could get someone to switch days with me for the presentation that would be fine.

I’m so glad you rediscovered Miranda! I similarly wonder where Yvonne has gone off to…

Yay for Jamaica!

Haha yes me too. We sort of became more like friends, so I was a little distraught. Yvonne does seem to have disappeared though.

Courtney

Yes Morgana! My parents are just making sure everything is a go and I’ll know for sure tomorrow I believe. The hardest part is done though. :)

So glad your trip looks like it will work out for you!

Bio

I love black and oolong (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted) teas, followed by green or red rooibos, herbals, whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
