brought this to work, it’s always nice to drink tea throughout the morning :)

today is shaping up to be a good day!
one of my coworkers gifted me (and everyone else) two Lindt mini eggs, and Dua Lipa just released her new album! also going to have a nice lunch with my colleagues, including one that left us to work in the industry!

I had a bit of a panic tuesday with work, but after taking a deep breath I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s actually manageable! this should prove, more than anything, that I DEFINITELY need a week away from my thesis

Just found Dua Lipa a few days ago, as her Houdini song is played every single day twice during my shift in local radio.

made this beautiful brew to both celebrate the holiday (yay May 1st!) and to have something to drink while reading
I’m currently making my way through Convenience Store Woman, so a green-white-fruits blend makes waay more sense than Lady Grey :)

The book title “Convenience Store Woman” tweaked my curiosity-just looked it up on LibraryThing! Do you like it?

I quite liked it! it’s short, weird, and sometimes it felt like the author read my journal :’)

had a terrible night of sleep (yay nightmares!) so this is a necessity

the next couple of weeks are going to be HARD (I want to send my thesis to my supervisor before going off to Paris), so don’t be surprised if I spam my notes with black tea !

Hard black tea is a requirement for writing and thesis deadlines!

Martin Bednář

Wishing you all the luck to send thesis on time and have fun in Paris :) Lots of tea shops there, but psst, I haven’t said anything, right?!

ashmanra

How exciting! Oh, the tea shops you can visit!!!

Sofia Vaz

thank you everyone for the encouraging words!

I hope to get some tea when I go, even as a souvenir — tea’s light, so I can get a lot without messing up my luggage weight limit!

but for now, rewrites!

Had at a café, and was delicious! Made me want to buy it and make for myself, but properly (I think this steeped, at most, 2 minutes)

drank Rou Gui by Unknown

I stayed home to work today, but yesterday’s holiday made my brain really slow. I decided to have some tea but genuinely did not know what could help. Then I remembered I had some rou gui that I got for gong fu purposes and thought… what if I used my metal infuser and a mug instead of my gaiwan? Could that make gong fu easier for slow brain days? That way I can keep the tea coming!

well, after a full mug and a half, I can tell you that it worked like a charm :)

Hooray for a good way to enjoy your tea!
