it is almost christmas! i'm the last one awake in the house, got a nice cup of tea and i was just wrapping up my end of year stuff in my scrapbook and realised i could totally be putting this stuff in the web blog!! so. behold. tea wrapped. i stick fruit stickers and teabag tags in the back of my sketchbooks or notebooks for the year, here's a bunch of teas i tried in 2024!

✸ twinings chamomile honey & vanilla - peak. my go-to nighttime tea. i love this one particularly because its very smooth
✸ aurora english breakfast - stolen from airbnb. no strong opinions, i like a good english brekky with milk anyway so they all taste the same to me
✸ pickwick green tea & white jasmine - veryyy nice, very fresh. nice evening tea. could easily replace my chamomile if i wasn't so pavlov-ed into it making me sleepy
✸ aurora peppermint - hotel theft. minty. i dont like peppermint very much but good for the congestion i suppose
✸ walini black lychee - a gift from a friend who travelled to bali! this is very nice, it's a beautiful lychee black tea. i drank it cold and really liked it
✸ mangosteen tea - another bali gift. i'm not actually sure what mangosteen is, but this was a powder and it definitely had added sugar in it, so too sweet for me unfortunately
✸ dilmah ceylon english breakfast - another english brekky that tastes the same to me. either i am a bad uk immigrant or english breakfast really isn't that good
✸ t2 sleep tight - i am not immune to t2's deranged concoctions. this is a very nice brew, its lavender, lemon balm and rose. smells amazing
✸ higher living organic licorice - i fuuuckingg looooove licorice dude. i love this tea, it's very potent, its licorice, orange, cinnamon and fennel i believe. very spiced. really nice
