Good day, Steepies! Today I’m hitting up one of my Quarter To Tea samples as a nice little break from the things I’m actually supposed to be doing. (I hoard my samples and deploy them as pick-me-ups as needed.) Reviewing teas is a nice little counterpoint to my day.
Today’s victim — er, topic of discussion — is a maple vanilla Earl Grey.
Which this tea totally nails.
If you wanted
a) maple
b) vanilla
and
c) bergamot
You would swiftly locate
a) maple
b) vanilla
and
c) bergamot.
If you blindfolded me and asked me what to call this, I’d call it that exact thing.
So now the operative question for you, Dear Reader, is: do you like those ingredients? I certainly do. That’s why I purchased this tea.
I’m pretending right now that I’m in Canada watching a mountie on a moose amble by. (I think they ride horses. But shush.) I am eating a pancake in a diner. The waitress is a curvy lady with fake red hair and perfect lipstick application. She calls me “hon.” The sun is rising over the maple leaves, and I feel a sense of optimism.
Sounds like just what I would like!
Also, it would be pretty awesome if the RCMP rode moose, because they are freakin’ giant.
I like the idea of domesticated moose. My reason is simple: I would like to pet one.
