#8 When you're in a rut

Situation: Sometimes, you just need to shake things up a bit, and the overly drastic, like shaving your head or dying your hair hot pink, are not always doable. Nor are long road trips (though I'm very much jonsing for one right now).
Tea time: I find afternoon the best time to try something new - not do early I'm still morning-grouchy, not so late it'll put me in a funk before bed.
Tea type: Obviously, something you've never tried before. This is getting harder, since I do refuse to pay too much for tea (and there's the matter of wanting individually wrapped tea bags, more on that later), but there are still a few out there.

Sometimes getting out if a rut is as simple as changing the route you take to the bathroom, sometimes it might require running away to a new country. For mid-level "blahs", I find new food (or tea) works very well.

This time I picked up some Berryblossom White tea, and not only did it provide a nice change of pace, I really like it - it may become another staple tea, along with Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Jasmine, and Chamomile.
