A gifted antique chair now fits nicely at the tea table. Wood and wicker, small and sturdy. I’ve never felt so comfortable sitting proper.
The chair has nothing to do with this tea. In fact, I am in bed just looking around with one eye open and I happened to notice how neat the chair is. It takes up minimal space. It’s made for a person of my stature. It possesses the type of artistry and craftsmanship that I’m craving in pandemic times. A glance at its figure brings comfort in this moment, something a soul-less ergonomic office chair on wheels will never provide. Guess I’ll no longer be hauling ass across a 2 foot radius of open bedroom floor or spinning, spinning in circles (weeee). I like this chair. I don’t like office chairs, or office work. This much I know.
This freebie sachet got me goofy. Knocked me on my ass. Guess that’s what happens when you steep it for 20 minutes. Peppermint is strong and sweet, like my favorite Pacific Northwest grown leaves. This blend and the linden I had earlier feel beneficial to my breathers after driving today with my windows down despite the smoke. The verbena doesn’t make a loud presence, bringing an earthy tone and citrus note. It tastes a touch soapy, like rancid coconut oil. Whatever, I still enjoy it. The long brew is oily viscous and the same color of my chair when the room is lit by a 7 watt lightbulb. There, I tied the tea to the chair.
The tea never did talk.

I am thrilled that you are thrilled with your chair. It sounds awesome! May I assume by “person of your stature” you are compact and low to the ground like me?
Question – your review mentioned that the tea got you goofy. The first time I ever had peppermint tea I giggled for fifteen minutes and felt truly tipsy. Is that…weird? Common?
I love a good small sturdy chair. I’m thinking of my Gram’s kitchen chairs.
As someone who is also of compact stature, I appreciate this chair. Ergonomic office chairs are overrated.
ashmanra: I have no idea but the effect for me sounds similar and was profound. And yes, I’m a little teapot. My ex said short and stout; I say average height and muscular.
WHOA how did a note from nine months ago make it to the dashboard for today’s teas?
and three other notes (for some reason also derk’s) from various days in the mix of today’s notes? Never seen this before.
It seems there is some mishap with dashboard going on. Hopefully soon it will be okay again.
I sometimes make additions to old notes here and there. For some reason, editing and saving those notes added them to the feed. Never happened before.
So, it’s not a bug, but a feature?
huh, weird. I don’t think editing notes would move them to the dashboard again in the past… I’m really not sure if this is a bug or new feature!
