I love tea time, hippos, ribbons & frills. All things cute & tiny.

Ah~! Finally my socks are here. They’re so cute. I had to test them out with a pair of pink shoes. Yes I’m wearing different socks on each feet. I’m surprised they are actually quite comfortable socks.

I bought these off fanplusfriend. They had a sale going on and it was cheap!. Like $4 a pair. Reasonable for off brands vs. paying $20-30 for a pair of brand named ones. I tend to wear socks to death. That’s probably why I also happen to have an entire drawer full of socks. I love know knee socks. Especially over the keen ones since with a mid-length skirt they give the illusion of wearing leggings. I not so much of a fan of wearing leggings under a skirt. I do it, but not very often. As if it’s not hot enough if you’re wearing a skirt + petticoat + leggings!. And the layers, the process.. every time you have to goto the ladies room. So I stick with the socks.

So it took almost 2 weeks before I got my order. They wasn’t any communication involved. Since I had never order anything from them before I was a tad worried. I pay for my order got my paypal receipt. Didn’t hear from them under 5 days later when my order was shipped. And then another week before my order got to me. Shipping price is bare-able.

That’s my flavor tonight. Been a while since I’ve had some of this. It’s a fairly large bag for quite cheap that I bought at the local Japanese convenient store. They open late so me & Ehren tend to end up there a lot. Plus sometimes you just have a craving for Japanese sweets. They even carry a decent selection of green teas of all kinds. Loose & bag. But nothing fancy just the regular stuff.
This tea is a combination of green tea leaves & brown rice. You can taste the roasted flavor of the rice in the tea. It can be quite strong if it’s steep too long. This is a good starter green tea.

I drink more tea then I do water in a day. Being a tea lover I figure I’d talk a little about the types of tea I like.
I’ve always wanted to try these cause they looked so neat and it actually looks like it blooms. The first time I tried a blooming tea was last year at my parents. My mom had bought some on their trip to China. I think these are more of a novelty really.
jasmine bloom is a green tea with hints of jasmine. A mild floral taste. Steeped at the recommended 180゜for 5 minutes. I actually steep this for longer by just leaving the flower in the pot since the flavor is quite mild. I tend to prefer my teas medium to strong. Overall quite enjoyable mainly for esthetics .
