I just got home from playing my 2nd gig of the day, I’m tired & hungry, & I want tea! My package from Eric, at The Fragrant Cup, has arrived! I started the water, opened the package, & …roasted chestnut is what I am thinking. The leaves are chocolate colored, with tinges of yellow, green, & beige.
I’m going for the lazy woman’s brewing method, as I don’t feel like fussing with the Gaiwan. I want a quick tea to carry around the house with me & sip while I grab a few things to take to Tony’s & get changed out of my black dress & into some pajama-like clothes, which is what I’ll wear for the rest of the weekend. So 2 minutes brew, in a cup with the Finum. (I promise another day I’ll give this the proper treatment).
This pale gold infusion has a very mild sweet flavor, very delicate. In my mind I see a field of clover blossoms, & I’d like to lay down in that field & rest. It’s a really pleasant tea with a mild honey taste, a little drying in the back of my throat (of course, that could be my allergies, now that I think of it). Definitely a tea I’ll drink again. (gongfu style next time)

and actually, I’m still in my black dress. I sat here & drank the tea, which is really what I needed to do, I’ve been running around all day.
One rule of thumb. Never lay down in a field wearing a black dress. (ah hum)…glad you made it through the day though. Had to have been difficult.
Just a day in the life, Bonnie, & a profitable one at that! It was sad to play a memorial service for someone I have known, although I hadn’t seen her for years. It was beautifully done.
I can imagine you in your black dress, seated at the table and sipping your tea all proper like, with your pinky up and everything.

That’s exactly how it was! Not sure about the pinky, but probably, lol
