Long overdue sipdown. I prefer my green tea on the sweet and toasty spectrum and this leans toward the vegetal; even more so because I had slightly more leaves than required for a full cup. It steeped up dark and chewy like vegetable broth, and on a whim I squeezed in the contents of a green apple honey straw, which sweetened and lightened it both. Between that and the absolutely delicious sunshine streaming directly onto my favorite chair (it’s been days!) one might believe that spring isn’t so far away after all.
