In the evening I want a smooth, mild tea with low caffeine. I decided to go with this one tonight. It’s been a long day. Not a bad one, really, just busy. I am accustomed to having my space and my time to myself. Entertaining my niece isn’t really hard. I sewed her a skirt this morning, then took her to see Cinderella, then we had supper at Chipotles. Then we came home and she watched a movie at top volume. I am certainly feeling frazzled, and I wanted a calming tea. This is the second time I’m made this one, and although it isn’t a top favorite, it is quite nice. I’d like to try it iced.
This is You :-D

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.

Yay! Sewing!
I take it you sew, OMGsrsly? I sew because I do historical re-creation, and there’s not a lot of historical costumes I can afford to buy.
YES. I used to do SCA stuff but I don’t really anymore, but I sew a lot of my clothes.
