My sense of smell has slid back into obscurity. :( But this tea remains one of my all time faves. It says it’s low caffeine (which is kind of weird since it’s black) so I decided it was okay to have it this evening. I made a small batch of monster sized turtle cookies. They are pretty tasty, and this tea goes along with them perfectly. So yummy.

Oh that sucks. But it’s still nice that you have a favourite tea that tastes good no matter what!

On Tuesday I begin the Aspirin Desensitization at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. 80% of people who have had it done report regain at least part of their sense of smell. Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed for sure!

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.
