drank Festivus by Casting Whimsy
1783 tasting notes

Finally got around to day 24 of my advent. It’s the last one that isn’t a rooibos and I don’t have it in me to drink rooibos right now. I steeped this cup, took a few sips and dumped it. It was boring generic spice, disappointing and I needed a comforting cup to start a hard day in one of the most challenging months of my life. Advents are always a fun and good way to discover new tea brands and expand my horizons. Sometimes I find companies that I end up loving, like David’s and Theodor and sometimes I learn that I’m not that into a company like Dammann Freres or Brutaliteas. This one falls into that later category of just not my thing.

Dustin – wondering if you were the one to send me a couple of teas last week? Tea Smith – Almond Biscotti and Arthur Dove – Caramel apple betty? I tried sending you a message…

Thanks, y’all. I was at the hospital with my best friend for 35 days straight as she died of cancer. She is gone now. I still have no bandwidth for mediocre tea. I was on a trip abroad after that, which is why I only just saw your message, Tea-Sipper.

Dustin: So sorry for your loss. What a treasure you have been to your friend, being with her like that. May each day feel a bit less sore, and may you feel more comfort and light each day.

Not a prob on the message! I didn’t know how much Steepster is acting up at any given point. I’m so sorry for the loss of your best bud. That is incredibly difficult.

Dustin, sorry for your loss and heartache. I hope you have some good memories to savor and maybe can sip some tea in her honor. Sending a hug through the internet.

Profile

Bio

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
