And the reason for that is that finals are finally over! And I passed every class (even if just barely). With new classes that I feel a lot more confidant in. Like computer animation (though the program crashed twice on me) and sociology (I made new friends! One is from Italy). I can now relax for about two days until it's back to work. Now on to the important stuff.
Tea!
I have been drinking tea every day at school. Those are mostly my normal green tea in those convenient little pouches (it's almost all gone). Due to a present I got from Teavana (new heaven on Earth) I have been drinking a white Ayurvedic Chai tea. Now I have learned that white chai has a very weak flavor after adding in the milk (which you add before pouring in the tea). It's not the milk's fault since the main flavor has a very high spice note and it overwhelms the main flavor (plus, I like sweet tea and having the sweetness compete with the spice is not very pleasant). I have solved this problem by steeping the tea for longer and for using around 2.4 teaspoons instead of 1.5. About two to three teaspoons of sugar and a good dollop of milk and the white tea is good! (Remember to have hot water at around the temperature as stated in directions.)
The Samurai Mate Chai hasn't been used as much do to the fact the water needs to be hotter and that there is caffeine in that one. Needs more suger than the Ayurvedic but good when doing last minute finals (Real last minute....).
That's all for the Tea Update for today! I hope to get more tea (that isn't chai) soon like the Moroccan Mint or Sakura Allure. The Sakura Allure brews a cool red colour!
Extra Note: Sorry if I ever type in chia instead of chai. I try to be careful with that.
Ciao for now!
