Well, I DO like oolongs! I had a flavored oolong a year ago that I didnt’ really like, so I thought I wouldn’t like any oolong. I was wrong! This tea brews up quite pale in color, with a delicate flavor that doesn’t require sweetener. We’re having our first real snow of the year (Imagine, Fargo, North Dakota, USA with bare grass showing until Feb 9! Now it’s all covered with light white stuff that blows around before finally settling on the ground) and I’m enjoying a nice cup of this while I work. In fact, off to see how well a second steep tastes!

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
