I woke up very terribly late with a headache this morning, and I have to get ready for work soon. One hand, it is nice living a lifestyle where I don’t have to be anywhere until three in the afternoon. Other hand, I need to stop avoiding medication; I would’ve been over this headache if I took an ibuprofen or two as soon as I realized I was in pain.
That said, after I ate lunch, I decided I should probably get something to drink — I don’t drink and eat at the same time; is that strange? — so I blind-grabbed out of my Lupicia order (since I still haven’t reorganized my tea shelf in the bedroom) and haha it was Strawberry & Vanilla!
And, all right — THIS TEA SMELLS AMAZING??? It reminds me of strawberry milk almost, very sweet and filled with a certain depth and the aroma just lingers so well after I steeped it. I kept my noise buried in my mug, because I didn’t want to stop smelling the scent. Happily the tea tasted as well as it smelled. There was a noticeable lack of bitterness, which was great. I had steeped it for a minute longer than recommended. (I do need to stop doing that tho.) I felt the strawberry and vanilla was very much present, but still subtle enough that it didn’t taste fake. (Lupicia, to my knowledge, doesn’t use artificial flavoring, but do you all know what I am talking about? That all too present taste of something that makes it FEEL fake even when it isn’t? idk.)
To be honest, I cannot believe I only just recently started drinking green tea; I’ve been missing out! Next time, I am definitely gonna try this with milk.

I know exactly what you mean about the not-fake-but-still-feels-fake, AND about how natural-tasting Lupicia teas are. I honestly think I wrote pretty much the same thing in my review for this one.
I wasn’t that much into flavoured green tea before Lupicia, but now it’s what I prefer.
Oh, and I have a few friends who don’t drink and eat at the same time, and I find all of you super weird, because I can down three full pitchers of water during lunch, easily. (Obviously I’m even weirder.)
