I wanted something nice and easy to drink tonight, that wouldn’t keep me up or jittery (the prednisone does that quite well on its own. thank you very much) I wasn’t sure how I felt about honeybush. I’ve had only one besides this one, and I liked it, but I don’t care for many rooibos teas, and I thought honeybush might be the same way.
Maybe it’s a fluke, but I like this honeybush too, maybe even more than the Cinnamon Roll one I had last. (Also from 52Teas) I could sort of “feel” the mint in it, and the mouthfeel was smooth and silky. It brews up quite dark, almost as dark as the pathetically weak coffee they serve at work. I like what little flavor I get. Not the tea’s fault! My nose is mostly on the fritz again. But there is enough flavor here to make me a happy camper.
I heard from the ENT today. The MRI is scheduled for August 20, and if it is good then I’ll be at the Mayo Clinic on September 15-17 being de-sensitized to aspirin. Part of me is really excited. I can not wait to see how much this improves my quality of life. And part of me is terrified. Aspirin could literally kill me. Yes, I’ll be carefully monitored and reactions will be swiftly treated. But it’s still scary.
Meanwhile, I’ll see if a I can get a second steep out of this.
Flavors: Mint
