January Sipdown Prompt – your oldest green

This is far from a sipdown, but every cup is progress. Two years ago I managed to drink all the teas that were past their “best by” date. Now I have few on shelf that have aged into that zone and we need to get drinking.

This is one of our favorite green teas to go with meals. We had it today with homemade miso soup, filled with fresh herbs amd greens from our garden. Ashman is off early for a dental appointment so we have a rare weekday lunch together.

How did this get old if it is a favorite? We can no longer drink caffeine in the evening. Supper that suit green tea must be accompanied by herbal tea or hojicha now. During the day we both tend to reach for black tea. I will try to start reaching for green instead, especially as spring comes and we look forward to the fresh light flavor. I will probably try to start cold steeping quite a bit of it, too, as we bought a large amount when we ordered it.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen 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…
