80

What a freakishly hot day here in Fargo ND USA today! It hit 96 F today, which is by no means unheard of (the record high is 101), but way above the average of 84. Thank goodness for air conditioning! My6 poor brother is a welder, and he’s working 12 days right now because they have a deadline on an order. I feel sick when I think of him wearing his jeans, overalls, gloves, mask all while using a blow torch in an UN-air conditioned shop. Sure, they have lots of water breaks, but when I talked to him tonight he says all his clothes are white and stiff from the salt of sweating. See? It makes me feel almost queasy just to think about.

Anyway, the tea. It is wonderful. I am thinking that honeybush teas might be my new go-to teas for evening. I like them better than rooibos. This one is warm —and I don’t just mean the temperature. The cinnamon gives it a warm spiciness that I imagine would be even more lovely on a cold November evening. I like the natural sweetness to it, and I can almost taste some sort of sweet, buttery/sugary topping like you get on a cinnamon roll fresh out of the oven. This one is certainly a winner. I am really glad I decided to join the kickstarter for 52Teas or I might have missed all these wonderful cups of goodness.

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.
