Halloween Teas

Happy Halloween!

During spooky month, I enjoyed DavidsTea's new Halloween fruit infusion teas.

 

 

Trick or Treat is a "Carnival-inspired caramel corn lightly coated in butter" tea. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not a fave. I think I would have preferred a caramel corn flavour profile on a black tea base.

 

 

Witchy Watermelon had the cutest witch hat sprinkles and tasted like a Jolly Rancher watermelon candy.

 

It's hard to see in the photo, but the tea is purple! This would also be enjoyable cold brewed or iced.

Meet Me at Midnight: T Party

On October 21, my favourite blonde, Dr. Taylor Alison Swift, released a new album, Midnights, at midnight.

Yes, I stayed up late for the album release and the "special very chaotic surprise" at 3 am (!). I took Friday off because I don't work on sacred days.

 

Midnights second listening T party on Friday morning

Dessert by Deb's Blueberry Lavender Angel Food Cake black tea was perfect for the T party because the lead-off track was called "Lavender Haze" and Taylor is an angel for bringing such joy (and chaos) to her fans! The songs grew on me during my second listen. I listened to the album all weekend!

One of my favourite songs was Anti-Hero because of the lyrics:

It's me
Hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At tea time
Everybody agrees

Celebrating Persons Day in Canada

On Persons Day (Oct 18), we recognize the 5 courageous Canadian women (Famous Five), Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Irene Parlby and Henrietta Muir Edwards, who launched a petition that lead to the 1929 historic ruling: "Women are persons!"

 

How 5 Women Changed Canada Forever Over a Cup of Tea

"People assumed they were just having dainty tea parties. But in reality, they were planning strategy to move forward gender equality in Canada."

I raise my pink teacup to the Famous Five! 

Their milestone victory for Canadian women's rights "paved the way for women's increased participation in public and political life."

Almost a century later, the suffrage movement has empowered women entrepreneurs to start their own successful tea businesses: Dessert by Deb, Geek+Tea, Monarch Tea Co., and Teamancy.
