Anyone that knows me well, knows that I love tea.  On a day away from work I drink about ... ten cups?  Perhaps because two of them have gone cold, or because I am hopelessly addicted.

I'd like to share my passion with you.  Every Tuesday I'm going to share something wonderful about Tea.  Be it a simple review, a photo, or even a recipe.  I have some wine tea I have wanted to make a beef stew with for ages now.


Today it is just a simple adoration of a new tea I picked up from David's Tea called Dreamsicle.  This tea comes from their new Spring line of teas.  It's an organic green tea, blended with orange zest, cocoa nibs, white chocolate crumbles, and sweet stevia leaf.  It has a calm, bittersweet smell with a zing from the orange.  Once brewed (and I like to enjoy it twice, perhaps even thrice!) it has a not-too-overly-sweet taste like an orange creamsicle.  The green tea paired here is the perfect balance because I think a black would be too strong.

It's a very light and refreshing tea and I hope to make it iced once the warmer weather moves in.

I feel like life has been overly emotional for me these past few months and I just need a new distraction away from all things work.  I'm just a simple Barista at Starbucks, but I like it there.

One day, I dream of my own little tea cafe and I think right now I'm going to focus all my energy into that goal and relax with my knitting, photography, and writting.  This is the best course of action right now and it's a proper good time for it.  Today is the first really good rainfall we've had.  Hasn't stopped for ages and puddles galore. 

Waking up to the sound of rain always puts me in the best mood.
