I’m turning into a tea-hoarder again, so in an effort to stop doing that I am enjoying tea in the morning.

Lavender Lounge Tea in San Clemente is still in business, and has expanded to a Dana Point location, to which I say “woot woot”. The fact that they’re still in business is kind of a big dealio — San Clemente main street businesses tend to have a gnat’s lifespan. Only the strong survive.

So today I’m enjoying a cup of Blue Lady, and over in my fridge I have a big pitcher of blackberry sage brewed, and…I dunno, maybe I’ll drag some mint tea with me to the party tonight. Mint tea + summertime = bestest ever, but you already knew that.

Not related to tea, but still a brew, I had a glass of Unibroue Ephemere at Cicero’s last night. It smelled like apples, and tasted like a white ale…so think Blue Moon, but apples instead of orange. I think I was expecting something more cider-sweet on the tongue, but I can also appreciate something that only smells like it’s cider-sweet.

There are all sorts of little household chores I need to do before I bug out for the gym, which I estimate I need to leave for at 3:30 PM. I’m giving myself an hour to write, and then it’s just me and the cat poop. What fun.
