(52teas (Anne) 2022: 131)
A is for… A Walk in the Woods!
Third tea for today, and another green! This one also introduces one of the themes in the “A” tea names – 4/6 that I located for today just start with “A”. Surprisingly, none starting with Apple.
I hadn’t remembered that this tea contained turmeric, which is among my less-favourite ingredients. Interestingly, the tea didn’t turn vibrant yellow, though, so I guess the effect of the yellow colouration is less when the root isn’t ground up.
Flavour-wise, wasn’t really expecting to like this, and I don’t. It’s earthy and otherwise kind of boring. There is apple in the tea but I don’t really taste it.
ETA: So, I don’t have any 52teas starting with the word “Apple” today because apparently I’ve already drank each of the four once in 2022 already. Haha.

In the library world, we never alphabetize using “A”, “An” or “The” (or equivalents from other languages like “La”, “Le”, etc.) I’ve been in the profession for so long now my brain immediately just sees “That starts with a W…” Hahaha. (I now recall how this started a fight with my stepmother once when I saw all her DVDs that started with “The” such as “The Client” were in the Ts, and when I pointed it out, she got super defensive and mad…)
I was debating on whether to follow that logic or not, but decided that it works best in my spreadsheet to include the “A” and “The” as A and T, respectively. It’s also uncommon, otherwise I might have reconsidered!
Ya, I’ve never understood why computers don’t just automatically sort by omitting preceding “A/An” “The”. It bothers me enough that I actually have my teas named on my spreadsheet as “Walk in the Woods, A” so it’ll sort correctly… professional hazard, I guess!
(I realize no one else would ever be as anal about something like that as me, heh.)
If I have my own spreadsheet, I would do it in the same way as you Mastress Alita. A bit of technical info — omitting is pretty much hard for sorting and slowls it a bit. It takes too much of CPU time (not my knowledge, but my brother’s programmer)
