Finally starting my morning workout routine again… ugh… it has been struggle. Today was the first day back out walking bright and early at 6:15am. I always feel better throughout the day when I do walk or run in the mornings, but it is a constant struggle to get out of bed.

Anyway, the tea. Loved how earthy this one smelled once it had steeped. I didn’t pick up on anything floral this time, mostly hay and a general pleasant overall earthiness.

It was just what I wanted this morning. Light, earthy, delicious.

I actually forgot I had this. Today, after work, I plopped down for a nap. Horrible decision. Got up at the crack of 7PM. Then I got the bright idea to throw caffeine into the mix.

Since (as I mentioned prior) my roommates have been sick, I went with a white tea. When I checked the ol’ white tea tin, I came across this li’l puppy. Perfect!

Got three steeps out of it before the leaves lost their kick. It is a note-for-note replica of a Chinese White Peony, if slightly more fruity. A common trait (I’ve found) with Malawi whites.
