Tea of the Week-Salted Caramel

I bought this weeks tea of the week a while ago, when I had decided I wanted more Pumpkin Chai and Sweet Apple Cider from the fall collection. I ordered it online instead of going to the store and I've got to say I was extremely happy with my experience. My order came quickly and I even got three free samples! I have one more sample left to try, and I'm going to blog about it when I try it. The only bad thing about ordering it online was that when it arrived at my house, the contractors who were working on our kitchen floor moved the box to the counter... And then proceeded to put cement on the floor! I wasn't supposed to walk on the floor for a whole day! It was a real crisis... So I put down some plywood and walked on the floor anyways :) A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

This weeks tea of the week is Salted Caramel by David's Tea. It's a sweet black tea with English Toffee, Caramel, Coconut and Sea Salt. I find this tea super comforting, especially now that the weather has really cooled off around here. I love that the flavours aren't too loud, but more subtle, in a good way. This tea is perfect with a little bit of milk, and it's sweet enough that you don't need any extra sweetener. Definitely a thumbs up in my book!

Currently (11-20-14)

Finding... Different ways home from work. The road have been so bad where I live and people just seem to forget how to drive once snow hits the road. So I've been taking back roads to avoid the major slowdowns.

Writing... Grocery lists! I feel like such a grown up now that Andrew has the apartment and he lets me shop for the food. I actually love grocery shopping. Maybe it's the pushing the cart part that I like. I'm not quite sure. Either way I'm having fun.

Dressing... Up. Well, I will be dressing up, later in December. I'm going to a couple Christmas events as well as a wedding in December. So I decided I need a new dress... and shoes.

Thinking... A lot at work. I haven't had much to do so far this week at work, next week will be busier. But mostly I've been just thinking about wedding things this week.

Beginning... Work on the dresses! I'm actually over half-way done one of the dresses (Rose's Dress!) They are turning out AWESOME so far. I'm so happy with how the fabric looks and I can't wait for Rose to try her dress on this weekend!

Linking up with Harvesting Kale and Ot & Et.

Tea of the Week-Snickerdoodle

This is the last tea in the fall collection... I'm so sad that I am running out of all these great teas. The fall collection was so great, I liked all of them, Which rarely happens when it comes to teas I get in collections. This weeks tea was actually the first tea I tried when I opened up the box. I almost ordered 100 grams of it, but in my opinion Sweet Apple Cider and Pumpkin Chai beat it out.

Snickerdoodle is a really sweet tea that has brittle pieces, cinnamon, and monk fruit. I'm a big fan of it and I'm a little sad that I'm currently drinking my last cup of it. Maybe it will come back next year. I love thats it's caffeine free and has a really warm and comforting flavour to it. Perfect for fall!

Also, take a look at these awesome pictures I can take now with the new lens Andrew got for me! I'm loving how close up I can get now.

Tea of the Week-Maple Sugar

This weeks tea of the week is again from David's Tea's Fall Collection. I've been so happy about this collection and I am so happy I went for it and bought the whole collection instead of just one or two kinds from the collection. I like every single tea in this collection.

This weeks tea is Maple Sugar. It's a sweet black tea that has Apple, Cinnamon, and Maple Syrup pieces! It's so tasty. If it wasn't caffeinated I would drink it more at night, but since it has quite a bit of caffeine I usually just have it on the weekends. This tea tastes great with a little bit of milk added to it but it definitely doesn't need any sweetener. It must be the maple syrup in it. I love it! If you have the chance (I'm not sure how much longer this tea will be available, since they are bringing out their Winter Collection now!) you should definitely give this tea a try!

Another thing I want to tell you guys about is my new tea shelf! My dad made this for me for the apartment and I love how it turned out. I spray painted it blue since we had left over spray paint and it matched out kitchen perfectly! It works so well and has space for 24 David's tea tins! As you can see it isn't full right now, Guess this means I'll have to go buy more sometime!
