drank White Nectarine by DAVIDsTEA
768 tasting notes

I am so tired and over worked and over stressed that I was hardly able to function. So I forced myself to take a break from the second job. I had one of those moments that comes only too rarely for me. I settled into my recliner with a good book and a cup of tea. The cat jumped up and purred in my lap for a while. To me, that is a perfect evening. A good book, a cup of tea, and a cat purring in my lap.

I like white tea, but I’m not a huge fan. None the less, I ordered this one because I was looking for a good summer tea, and I love nectarines. I have to say, I really like this one!
This was nummy tonight. With my first sip I swear I caught a ghostly shadow of a juicy burst of sweet nectarine. It was probably just my imagination. I haven’t gotten it again, but even without it, the tea is smooth, sweet and light. I really hope I’ll be able to taste this one someday. Tomorrow I go to have the MRI and discuss sinus surgery with the ENT. I think I’ve decided to go for it. Being able to smell and taste my tea is a perfectly acceptable reason to have surgery.

This is one I’ll definitely try after I heal up from surgery. I bet it is delicious.

Thanks, TeaBrat. I’m actually starting to look forward to it. Well, not the surgery, but the results.

Cat, tea, recliner, book, blankie….yep! Best RX ever.
(What was the book?)

Maddy Barone

I’m reading Prudence by Gail Carriger. It’s adventure\steampunk. Fun so far.

That’s a genre I haven’t experimented with yet, but would like to; sounds like a fun escape!

I can heartily recommend Gail Carriger and Meljean Brook. Excellent writers with appealing characters. Strong female leads, which is what I usually like in a story.

Bio

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.
