Mondays Are Made Better With Presents

Monday is always a challenge, usually the phones are ringing off the hook at work and we don't much have time to breathe.  Today was a little different, my staff and I commented to the irony of the phones being quiet when the news from last week still loomed over us.  Oh well, what can be done but to soldier on.

I started a tea journal so I can keep track of the different teas I try and have a quick reference of my inventory.  I can also have a quick place to record the medicinal and therapeutic merits, as I study the medicinal properties of teas and tisanes.

Anyway, I had Cocomint Green tea this morning, it's a blend from +Adagio Teas.  It has a nice clean taste from the mint and green tea blend and then there is the scent and taste of cocoa.  It is not too much so the overall cup is nice.  I am actually not a huge cocoa fan because I like deep chocolate flavors and most cocoas are too weak for me.

I came home to a delightful surprise of my +Steepster Select delivery for March, which included five tea samples and tea filters!  One of which was Wild Chrysanthemum Flower, a tisane that according to my resarch into chrysanthemum tea can be served cold or hot, obviously steeping the flowers hot and then allowing the liquid to cool.  The herbal tea is very nice in flavor and I like it for the smooth taste.  It is herbaceous but that is not offputting.

In addition to the Steepster delivery was another package from +Tealated.  It had two tea samples and tea bag/filters a postcard with coupon code and a wonderful card from the CEO/Founder.  I was so excited by the package and then I was floored when I read the card.  I had to post it all to Instagram immediately.  I also wanted to be cute and show my thanks in a unique way, so I made the hashtag #IAmTealated.  I am very excited to try the Peachy White tomorrow!  My review will be posted on all of my social media outlets and the blog.  YAY!

Below is a picture of my tea at my desk, the chalkboard journal that I can display which tea I am drinking with some of the information of the company.  Of course I needed to have my tea in my wonderful Batman mug.
