drank Vanilla Comoro by Harney & Sons
3225 tasting notes

Thursday I had tea with a couple of my students. The youngest said she wasn’t allowed much caffeine and chose this one. She really loved it.

Today I asked her back, this time with a different sister, to stay at my house for lunch, tea time, and games because the parents had to go to a funeral. She liked this one so well Thursday that she chose it again for today.

This one really is best loose leaf to get the full vanilla flavor. The color in the cup is not as rich as most Harney black teas, but it still is pretty satisfying and I am happy to have it around for evenings when I really really crave black tea flavor but need to avoid caffeine.

And Kawaii – many thanks to you. I have been really feeling down, and today you posted “You are not insignificant. Maybe you are the lighthouse in someone else’s storm.” And somehow, the hope that I am that, or may have been that or may one day be that, encouraged me just that bit I needed to soldier on today with a little more strength. I am repeating my story here not for sympathy, but because I hope it will help someone here that reads it. You might feel defeated right now, or hopeless, but you never know when you are the only thing that kept someone else going. In a dark room, all eyes go to even the tiniest flame. Keep loving, friends. It is worth it.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
