Guess what??? I got a little whiff of smell!! It turns out that a month after surgery, about the time my sense of smell should have kicked in, I got a sinus infection. Since June 1 I’ve been on two different antibiotics, and the doc just prescribed a second round of the last one. This infection, like a lot of sinus infections, is darned stubborn and doesn’t want to die. This antibiotic is very, very powerful. Naturally, I got a yeast infection. :(

But I’ll take it, if it comes with a return of a sense of smell. It’s not all that strong. Yet. Hopefully it will get clearer in time. Last night I could smell and taste DAVID’s Cold 911 just fine. This morning I made a cup of this and couldn’t really smell or taste it. But I have hope! I’ll hoard the last tablespoon of this tea in hopes of being able to tase and smell it soon.

Yay, finger crossed your sense of smell will hang in there and that you’ll recover from the antibiotics soon.

That is great news!!! My sense of smell is out-of-control strong…..to the point where colleagues laugh at me (I once smelled strawberry lip balm in an office that the person had put on their lips 45 minutes prior to me coming into the office)….but I reckon that’s also what allows me to taste all the notes in teas….. hope your sinuses behave soon!!!

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.
