It’s rather chilly here, so after I had my one cup of coffee this morning I decided to have some hot tea. I told myself that I should drink something that was already open, but I’ve3 been wanting to try this one since it arrived a few weeks ago. I’ve never really liked smoky teas until I tried a couple from 52Teas.

The smoke here seems a bit lighter. That may be because I don’t have my sense of smell right now. It’s a very nice tea I won’t have any trouble finishing the ounce I got. But I think I like my smoky teas with additional flavoring.

I am moving October 27. I have spoken to my brother multiple times about going off on his mini vacations. He hasn’t been home 5 days in a row since last April. He doesn’t care, so I signed my lease on Friday. I will be home with Mom one evening evening a week, and for a 4 hour block on either Saturday or Sunday.

I am so much looking forward to being on my own again. Right now making tea is a chore.

Thank you. My mom was an RN at a nursing home for many many years. One of her old co workers is retiring Dec 7 and she will be coming over during the day three days a week to look after mom. I still feel a little guilty. But I can;t wait to sleep through a night. And drink tea, of course! ;)

There’s just a limit to what a body can do. I’m glad you have reinforcements on the way!

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.
