Tea and other shiny things.
You know what's great in a time of emotional crisis? Tea. I swear, I should be British.
And, noting that I was running out of high-quality tea, I went on a tea spree. I bought another box of Numi's Bouquet, because Starlight Jewel and Dragon Lily are two of my favorite teas ever, and I like the rest a lot, too. And then I saw that Numi has a new variety pack out-- Exotic Bouquet. Check this out:
Also included-- a honey jasmine white and a buttery amaranth oolong. Right. Mmmhmm. Mkay. Sold.
These teas really are among the best quality teas I've ever tried. They're not hearty for everyday drinking. It's funny how to me, a simple cup of Lipton hot tea with milk and sugar is such a comfort. I think that's probably because I grew up with Lipton and nothing else, and so it has a has a homey, comforting attachment to me. Flavored teas like Teavana Almondina Biscotti have more of an indulgent flavor to me-- the flavor is rich, almost like coffee. But the Numi teas almost have a delicate, meditative quality. And watching them unfurl into petals is almost a zen experience in itself.
Next paycheck-- Omg Sephora binge like whoa omg.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to mock my co-worker. She's listening to Muse. It's the most emotastic crap I've ever heard.
