It's been long time since I've said hello... I swear I never meant to stop documenting my cup of tea here forever (trust that I definitely never stopped drinking tea 😉)--I was just going through some things over the past couple years.

There are a few new things in my life that have rocked my world this week: 1. Chili oil 2. Owning my very own easel (and, most importantly) 3.

Tea Tasting #1: The Tea I Bought in Place of Another (Lapsang Souchong)
What I wanted was Russian caravan, but what I bought was lapsang souchong. Why? I was in a tea shop telling my friend the very little I knew about the two teas (only that I had heard that they were a little similar in taste due to Russian caravan being a tea blend that usually… Continue reading Tea Tasting #1: The Tea I Bought in Place of Another (Lapsang Souchong)
