Thank you Zwi for this lovely EG! I just started to sample the world of EG last winter. Wow, there a ton of EG’s and his relatives out there. I sort of put off drinking this because I had so many for awhile. I am so glad I have this for today. My sprained knee kept me awake all night so I’m grumpy and tired. I don’t usually get up until 8 am. Today I was up at 4:30. Ugh! But luckily I had this tea just waiting for me. It’s lovely. Well balanced with my friend bergamot. I often want tons of bergamot but today I was really hoping the bergamot would take a back seat and let the black sit up front. Yeah! They were just perfect. No astringency or bitterness. Just the right amount of punch you would expect from a EG. I’m glad I got a sample of this to try so now I know that this is a tea I want to buy. I would have been pretty hesitant to buy more EG when I have a bunch in the cupboard. But now… Well, I guess I have to make an excuse to go into Chicago (about 30 miles away) and buy some of this. Oo oo oo! I’ve got an even better idea… my daughters live in Chicago and Mother’s Day is coming up! It sounds like a plan!

I envy you for living so close and having an excuse to go to Chicago… so many tea options there! One day I’ll get my Hubby to take me back…this time for tea!
Oh, lol, you thought the important part of that was seeing my daughters! No the important part was getting tea!
Oh no… I gotcha. They are a good excuse to make the trip so you can do some Mother’s Day shopping for yourself. Better yet, get them to take you and buy you some tea for Mother’s Day.. !
I have been putting ice on it. :D I asked my husband to make up an ice bag and put it into towel to wrap it. Suddenly my jeans are cold and wet. I opened the bag… a big hole! When asked, my loving (but thrifty) husband says it was an old bag. I din’t want to waste it!
Mawwage. Mawwage. Wove, twue wove… Princess Bride
