I’m celebrating ninety days of not drinking beverages other than tea. What better way than to reward myself with a cup of some high quality, custom blended…but what’s this? A stray bag of POW in the cupboard? I can’t recall ever drinking this before (I likely did without taking notice) so I buzz up the kettle.

As the bag steeped, I read some Armenian poetry (in English) and reflected on my life of loss and love. Damn, I’ve forgotten my tea! Although it was brewed a bit too long it was still an enjoyable cup. To my palate it is sweet, like candy. I wouldn’t enjoy it so much without tea biscuits or other food. It’s actually quite smooth (considering I drowned that bag for way too long) and had a slight dusty aftertaste, not to be unexpected with bagged tea.

I liked it and could see buying it to take on camping trips to enjoy with s’mores.

I’ve recently returned home to NY after decades of living out West and in the South where people only drink tea iced with enough sugar to put a rhino in a coma. I drink my tea without milk or sugar, same as my coffee, because I want to taste it. Irish Breakfast (Barry’s please!) and Earl Grey are my daily cups and I’m always happy to try creative, custom blends and am lucky to have high quality tea shops nearby.
