I’ve been very, very busy today. I’ll be spending Tuesday through Friday at Mayo Clinic and I for sure don’t want to come home to a messy apartment. I figure i’ll be exhausted after the treatments and the 6 hour drive home. So I spent 5 hours cleaning. I still have another 2 or so hours tomorrow, but for now I’m sitting back with The Walking Dead and this tea. This is the end of it, and it’s very nice. Smooth, light, a little sweet, a little malty. I think I like it better iced. Or maybe with my sense of smell back on the fritz I just can’t taste all the yummy nuances of this tea. Fingers crossed that this horrible aspirin desensitization will be effective and I will regain my sense of smell. And breathing through my nose would be fun too.

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.
