That’s it… holidays are done and kids are back at school. That means I had to get up at an ungodly time of 7 am while the sun was still sleeping. I’m not a morning person… seriously I’m not. It was short of brutal.. dark and cold and the first cup of tea doesn’t come until the little munchkin is on the bus. Oh horrors…

Happy to say I survived… Got the little one up… packed the lunch… found the mittens, the hat and the scarf… found her glasses and everything else that has to go into her backpack (she’s 7… I’m still responsible for her forgetting stuff.. lol) I found the route to the bus…

Now it’s just me and the tea… This is my very first pu’erh I tried from Verdant and I enjoy it every time. Today I added some star anise, cloves and a touch of honey… Mmmm… yummy.

It sounds lovely with the star anise, great comfort after a frantic morning, right?

Most definitely! And now I’m off to my local vintage shop to see if they got any new teaware over the holidays. :D

Bio

It’s been a while since I joined Steepster and I think it’s time to write up a bio.

I’m a stay at home, married mom with 5 kids, most of them grown up. Only one remains with us now, my 7 year old sunshine which I push out of the house to school every morning and it’s not an easy thing to do.

I’m an avid gardener during a growing season and my goal is to grow most of the food we eat and save some for winter too. I’m also an artist and a huge nerd. I read books, I play computer games. My very first game was World of Warcraft (was addicted to it solid for a year, lol), then came Skyrim, Minecraft (with my 7 year old) and few others less memorable along the way.

I began drinking tea on regular basis just over 2 years ago when I decided to kick my morning coffee habit. It wasn’t pretty… I couldn’t function for 3 days straight but survived. A year ago I discovered loose tea and found Steepster… The rest is history.

Some of the staples in my cupboard are Dragonwell green tea, Japanese sencha, Silver Needle white tea, green roobois, darjeeling and pu’erh. I also drink variety of flavored teas for fun and I like to order tisanes and mix them with straight teas for even more variety.

Recently I found out how much I love oolong so will be stocking up on that as well.

There are few other tea lovers in my family: my mom and dad, my oldest daughter, my son and my youngest 7 year old. She loves when I try out different teas and I always have to remember to make enough for her to have a little taste.
