Well after quite a long break, I am back. And sick. So that is a bummer. And this is probably one of the busiest weeks ever. We're moving this week into our new apartment so we have lots to do. We had a nice vacation visiting my family in Orange County. I enjoyed seeing everyone and spending so much time with my brother :) It was a much needed "break" even though we were extremely busy. So onto tea.

Tea: Good Earth Jasmine Green Tea
Like?: Yes
Where to buy?: Safeway or your grocery store. Probably for around $3.99
Grade: A-

I realized I did a post on a jasmine green tea not that long ago so this will be a little redundant. I can't recall how similar or different this Good Earth Jasmine green tea is from the STASH jasmine green tea I wrote about a few weeks ago. I can say however that I find jasmine green teas really refreshing. I enjoy the bold flavor that green tea has as well as the slightly bitter taste from the jasmine. The bitterness also has a slight sweetness to it. So it is a good combination. I definitely recommend this tea for green tea lovers.

I don't know what's for dinner tonight because I'm not cooking!

Ciao!

Today is a very important day for any Beatles fan. Thirty years ago today John Lennon's life was tragically ended. For the past several years, I have taken this day to reflect on his life and his passion for life. He was truly a musical genius, he was passionate about our rights, and he was an inspiration to so many. So today is for you, John Lennon. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of your death we also celebrate your life and the wonderful person you were. I did not have the pleasure of being alive when you were, but your life lives on through your music. We will never forget you. R.I.P. John Lennon.

So on to tea...

Tea: Stash Jasmine Blossom Green Tea
Like?: Most definitely
Where to buy?: Probably Safeway or online http://www.stashtea.com/products/Jasmine+Blossom+Green+Tea.aspx
Grade: A-

Today's tea is a very unique tea. If you've ever had a Jasmine tea then you know that it has a slightly bitter flavor. I can't really pick out the green tea taste as much as most green teas. I do like Jasmine green teas because I think they have a bite that is kind of a "wake up!" This is a tea you don't want to steep for a super long time if you don't like a strong tea. I like a strong tea, but this one can become bitter if left for too long. This tea is very aromatic so it leaves a wonderful smell around you while it is steeping. It also leaves a nice aftertaste on your pallet. Overall, I definitely recommend this tea!

We are having cauliflower in browned butter for dinner and let me tell you this is one of the most delicious foods I have ever had before. SOOO freaking good. Last class of the semester tonight :) YAY!!!

Have a great day today. And think about John :)
