Have you ever had a busy few days, filled with festivities and fun… but when it was over, felt so tapped out that the concept of sleep sounded like the most wonderful thing in the world?
Well that’s me today! Hermit mode. Serves me right for booking almost a week straight of holiday celebrations.
Anyhow, I went for Chinese food yesterday… to sop up some of the alcohol that was consumed over New Years. They served Pu-erh tea, I have no idea what brand. But it was nice to sip on and kept me warm! Smooth and comforting. Though it didn’t go very well with my soup, which came after I had a few cups of tea!
Happy New year everyone!!!
I’m off to bed then. Nap time :)
Can’t believe you’re the same young woman who wouldn’t touch puerh not that long ago.Have a good nap!

Never made it to nap time. Hazards of cohabitating with Mum who is on vacation!!!

Had a very nice po lei at Dim Sum this afternoon. Nice, standard loose shu. It was perfect for drinking and chatting.

Mine was actually Teavana’s discontinued Organic Pu-erh. It tea and dirt had a baby, that’s what this tastes like. I do enjoy it quite a bit, but I have to be in the mood for it. Usually it goes like this: I’m looking through my tea collection trying to decide what I’m going to drink, because I’m feeling indecisive, usually I know exactly what it is, and I see it and I say, “Hell, why not?”
Fifty cents and it is not fishy? Wish we had a shop like that around here. Yep, jealous. ;)
Where do you get cocoa nibs? I have a world food mart that is probably my best bet. Is it with the spices in your store?
Nope, not getting any fish—a little minerally at the end, is all. Definitely gotta get more. Cocoa nibs—same store, bulk spice aisle. Wonderful drop-in ingredient for numerous varieties, but this was a perfect pairing.
Jealousy! Bulk bin tea? And cocoa nibs? Green.
