This became my “take it to work” tea and lived in my Timolino for the past couple of weeks.
Sadly, I just don’t really appreciate white teas the way they were meant to be appreciated. This was rather like warm jasmine spa water to me. The jasmine flavor was nice, but there wasn’t much else to it.
I have a lot more white tea in my stash so I’ll have more tries to find one I can discern flavor in, but I think it may be one of those things where I really want to like white tea but just don’t see the point.
In other news, one of our kitties has been quite sick. Thyroid problems, kidney problems, and earlier this week she had a stroke and some seizures that left her blind and unable to walk. We thought Tuesday would be her last day with us, but she made it through and is actually recovering slowly. She is walking a little, but we can’t tell whether she is still blind. Such a sad time in our house. She’s pretty much everyone’s favorite kitty.
Sorry to hear about your cat. My dear little old lady Flame Point/Turkish Van mix, LeeLee, died the end of January. She was in her 20s but a scrappy little soul. I miss her a great deal. She was my favorite. I’ll light a candle for your feline friend.
Thank you, Whitantlers!
I mean Whiteantlers. :-)
You’re very welcome. I think sometimes petless folks underestimate the close bonds we forge with our domestic animal companions. My cats are not surrogate kids; they are my mute friends who still like me even on a bad hair day. They are always happy to sit quietly in the sun with me when I’m drinking tea.
