Thursday Tea is a weekly meme hosted by yours truly. To play along, all you need is some tea, a book, and the willingness to answer these questions: what tea are you drinking (and do you like it)?

The tea: I spend so much time on campus now (I work there as well as take classes) I decided to bring a packet of tea along with me so I could drink it instead of buying more coffee from Starbucks (who pissed me off by raising their prices recently). I decided to bring bagged tea, since it’s easier to brew/clean up than loose, and I brought Orange Spice tea (also Super Irish Breakfast tea, but that’s for another day).
I had to use powdered milk (easier to transport than live milk, and cheaper than buying milk on campus) and that was an interesting experience, but it wasn’t too bad. I really liked the tea itself! Slightly orange-y and delicious.
(By the way, I found this interesting recipe for Hot Spiced Orange and Fruit Tea on the Stash Tea website. It looks good! Maybe I’ll try it this winter and then post about it here, eh?)

But I’ve still managed to finish half a book! It’s March Upcountry by David Weber and John Ringo, and it’s really good. I don’t normally go for military sci-fi, but I’ve found quite a few good ones in Baen’s catalog, and this one seems to be heading to at LEAST a four bird rating.
