drank Grapefruit Green by Lupicia
2816 tasting notes

I’m having this tea for lunch as a cold brew. I haven’t been drinking much cold brewed tea since the weather got cooler, but this is just so delightful when it’s been prepared that way. If Lupicia ever made a decaf grapefruit and it tasted anywhere near this good, I’d definitely buy some.

Getting energized to go join a gym. I was trying to save money by not going to one, but sitting around on my duff isn’t making me feel better about myself and it’s important to feel and look good when you go on job interviews. I think it will be a good thing for me if I can get there 3x a week at least. Wish me luck!

A green rooibos with this flavoring would be delicious! And good luck on your gym plan. :)

yes, I agree on the rooibos and thanks, I’m a bit sick of feeling flabby :-P

I’m the laziest person on the face of the earth when it comes to working out… >>

TeaBrat

me too! Honestly it is a struggle but I look & feel so much better when I do.

Forcing yourself to do it initially is the hard part. If you fight through that phase, you may really start to enjoy the excercise and feel good…that’s definitely what happened for me!

Yoga is the only fitness thing I’ve ever been able to stick to, and it’s been way too long since I’ve done it regularly.

My partner and I are supposed to be going to the gym together, but it’s so hard to fit it in. Also, cardio is boring as hell, though fortunately we’re focused more on strength training. But still, so hard to get into it and make it a habit.

TeaBrat

@Scatterbrain – agreed. My biggest hurdle in the past has always been time but now that I’m not working I hardly have that excuse. :P

@Anlina – cardio can be boring but I listen to podcasts and that helps the time go by faster. I also think I want to take a Zumba class. I like yoga but right now I feel like pumping iron, heh!

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
