I had a very, very late night Western style mug of this around the start of my holiday break while watching Schitt’s Creek – I started watching the show from the beginning a few days before the holiday and am now about half way through the final season.
It was so late when I drank this that I was practically half asleep – I don’t remember much of what it tasted like other than in my sleep deprived state I remember really focusing on the fact it was sweet “like nectar” and so natural tasting. The “so natural” is really more of a response, though, to the fact I was at the tail end of advent season and I was feeling burnt out on indulgent or overly spiced flavoured teas without having had practically any straight teas in at least a week or two to offset them with.
I was just very burnt out, and desperately trying to fit a nice straight tea into my night before I had to restart the advent process again in the morning.
Take a recess and reset. Rest is important.
I’m on holiday break now, so very much unwinding from a super hectic and packed month. I definitely need to remember not to overdo it when I get back in the New Year though.
