new-brittles reblogged your post and added: “Accountability post for Nov 10”
You should use the tag #ontracknov and then you’ll...
Oh, thank you! I didn’t know about that one. I’d seen #nononsensenovember, but I knew the requirements for that would be too strict for this month. I will do that from now on!
Incoming long answer, haha! First, I’ve talked a bit about me and tea on my blog but I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned the company by name. Anyway, there’s a Canada (and US) based company called Steeped Tea that’s baaaasically Tupperware but for loose tea instead of kitchen storage goods, and I’m an independent consultant with them, so this tea is the order from the party I hosted just over a week ago. (I don’t think I’ve mentioned the company by name before, largely because I’m very much not trying to use this tumblr as a marketing platform, but I genuinely like a lot of the teas they make so hey why not give them a shout-out).
Anyway, as per what kind of tea, the short answer is ALLLL the tea (so many people came to my party it was awesome so now I have a lot of tea on its way to my house to then distribute to them, haha!). The longer answer is that most of the teas I got to replenish my stash or try something new were dessert-y flavoured black tea blends or rooibos tea blends, and what I’m most looking forward to are refilling my sadly empty tin of almond chocolate tea and filling a new tin with chocolate pumpkin chai (which was limited edition last October but is now available for the whole fall/winter season and I was SO EXCITED to find that out because it’s delicious). I find that dessert-flavoured tea blends help satisfy my sweet tooth and so that’s the majority of the types of tea I get.
Good point! Also, knowing that all the tea is on its way is also helping my mood improve by giving me another positive thing to look forward to this week, so tea shipped = mental health = fitness, as well.
