2965 Tasting Notes
The wheel of fate has stopped on this blend as one of my new take to work teas, where I suspect its going to do rather well.
I have already had two cups of it, which is two more cups than I’ve had of it in the last two months, and its doing a nice job soothing the baby cough that I currently have, and would like very much if it did not grow into a grown up cough.
Keep on working at it, tea!
And its a sipdown!
Its so kind of my friend to give me tea every Christmas, and this year was the most enjoyable batch of Joy I’ve yet encountered. I still find the blending of teas to be a little strange, but it came out much sweeter this time than in years past, and was easy to drink.
We are rapidly moving out of easy sipdown country. Its almost going to be all teas that I don’t want to sip down from here on out. Don’t want to because I don’t like them, and don’t want to because I love them.
Well, I told myself I was going to do this, and I am.
For now, an easy Sipdown! I suspect I’ll see you again next year, Joy.
This is a very rich cup of tea. The spices, the orange, they fill up every sip.
The trouble is I’m still not sure about the balance of the flavors. Maybe? The orange and spice play well together some sips, but sometimes the spice bullies the orange into the background, where it fares less well.
Hmmmm. Many more cups of this to come, and to wonder over.
Today is a much better day, in terms of energy levels. I got a good nights sleep, and it makes a world of difference in the day, and my ability to pay attention to the teas I am drinking.
Point in fact, this one. Its never going to be a favorite, but its doing its job well. I still thing the combo of all three teas is not the worlds most ideal, but hey.
What is it? I’ve been sleeping like a log over the weekends, and then the work week happens, and I am utterly unable to get a good nights rest.
For example, I went to bed last night and just lay awake, unable to sleep, getting more annoyed the later it got.
Grr.
Tea is our only solution to these mornings.
I’m not as in love with this as once I was. Its still very nice, but it no longer completely rocks my world.
