Yahoo! By using my hair dryer I managed to unfreeze the window enough to get it closed! Good thing, too, as it’s a bit nippy out there tonight. I’m sitting down now with a cup of this tea and my knitting. It’s a great way to end a good day.

This tea is warming, spicy, and just a little sweet on its own. Last time I made this tea I must have had quite a bit of cinnamon in it, because it left me with that odd, coated dry mouth feeling when you have too much cinnamon. Tonight this is just about perfect. Think when I re-steep I’ll make some cinnamon toast to go with it.

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.
