A friend came over to help me pack my books. (All 1785 of them) Took us nearly three hours. On our break, I brewed a pot of this. She is one of those people who really prefers bagged tea from Bigelow, so this one didn’t impress her much. I am always flabbergasted when people don’t enjoy a high quality tea, but I guess it just depends on the person.

Anyway, it is certainly a favorite for me. And now it is time to say good night. Another long day at the day job, then more packing. Charge!!

I am not jealous of your book collection! That must have been so frustrating to pack, especially since you don’t want boxes to get too heavy.

I haaaaaaate packing. whine I already gave away over 300 books. I need to be ruthless and get rid of a bunch more

How’s your move coming along, Fjellrev? Almost done, right?

Fjellrev

Oh yikes, do you have until the last day to pack and leave or are they kicking you out earlier? The movers should be here in a couple hours, then my walkthrough is tomorrow, so tonight and tomorrow in a hostel then I’ll be flying out on Saturday! Almost done!

Maddy Barone

Best of luck, Fjellrev! I have until the 30th, and the truck will be here on Saturday morning, so the actual move should be done by Saturday night. Having the books done is immense. I still have quite a bit to pack, but it doesn’t seem quite as overwhelming as all those books! After that, it’s just unpacking in the new place, and then cleaning the old place. I’m just moving 1 town over. In fact the drive between the two apartments is less than 10 minutes!

Safe move to you.

A POT??? That must have been a $30 pot of tea!! My husband is from the UK and anything besides CTC Assam from Harney tastes weird and “not like tea” to him….. sigh…..

Anlina

Oh culling books is the worst. When I left my ex I had to go from nearly 1000 books to under 100 to make moving easier. It was so hard. Rediscovering the library has helped though.

Best of luck to both of you with your moves!

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.
