Another sample from KittyLovesTea! Thank you! This just might be my favorite green or white from Bluebird. The dry blend kind of brings peace in itself it is so nice looking- yeah, tea nerd here. I mostly smell spearmint in the dry blend. The flavor is lovely, mostly spearmint and super sweet jasmine from the actual jasmine buds in the blend. The green or white teas aren’t terribly noticeable so everything must be blending nicely! Very refreshing and the name is fitting. A great combination! My Bluebird order COULD be ridiculous.

Oh man. Had this the other night when I was feeling oddly groggy and blergh after a long day and WAY too much pasta for dinner (I really should have known better!) and it elevated wonderfully. Somehow, the spearmint and jasmine combo makes the whole thing into a sort of sweet, juicy floral. I’m wary of florals tasting a bit cloying if they’re strong, bu somehow this manages masses of jasmine while being incredibly light and soft and sweet, while still being packed full of flavour. This, plus a big fluffy blanket, plus watching James May attempt to build things on telly, plus someone to cuddle up to, is basically my ideal quiet night in.

I really like it when James May attempts to build things (: have you seen his giant lego house?

Also tons of pasta for dinner is soooo comforting at the time, no judgment here!

I’m pretty sure that if we could move into a giant lego house, Gentleman would jump at the chance. We have lego versions of ourselves. It took like 15 minutes of serious conversation to come to the conclusion that having someone to take to Legoland isn’t a good reason to have children.

Pasta’s amazing. I’m having it again tonight, in part because the tomato sauce in the fridge will go funny if I leave it until I’m back from the Easter weekend, but also because it’s so good. You just have to time it such that it’s okay to be a zombie after you’ve eaten!
