I managed to prepare this tea without making a complete mess on the desk. Celebrate good times! Yesterday I spilled everything I touched. Also yesterday I ate like a 20 year old single guy – nuked frozen burritos, refried beans, hot dogs, and Velvetta and macaroni. Today I woke up 57 and realized that was not the best behavior. I’ll be switching to puerh shortly but wanted some octane in the tank first.
I had no idea what to expect from this one. A&D’s description gives no clues. Terri told me to steep this for 4 minutes. That seems like a long time. Many breakfast type black tea gives me stomach burn so I usually go no more than 3 minutes. I went with 4 today and this is not bitter and did not seem to hurt. A light hint of smoke, some briskness, a little malt. On my scale somewhere between English Breakfast and Prince of Wales in intensity. Actually leaning more toward the mellow side.

Yay for no spillage!
Yay! :-)
Good GOSH, yo, that sounds like my food nightmare! I mean, granted, occasionally all I want is frozen pizza and ramen (and okay, so I eat more ramen than a woman of my age should, owing to the whole unemployment thing) but STILL. Please tell me you’re feeding yourself better today!
Sami Kelsh, today I have had a glass of milk and some dry cereal. Not so hungry today. lol
K S, I’m glad you could indulge yesterday, but you need to get some greens in that body of yours now…want my delicious kale/spinach/avocado green smoothie recipe? It’s so yummy… Uh, what, no? You’re not interrested, really? lol, I know, I know, you’re just not that kind of guy, can’t blame me for trying though :-)
The Hubster and I are reaching that screeching-halt realization that we can no longer eat like college students. Rats.
Oooo, BLERG! I need puerh just from reading what you ate! I am in the same boat…lots of things that I wish I could eat, but I know better…most of the time.
I know better and I paid for it. Oh for the good old days when there seemed to be no consequences. I have stayed away from doughnuts for a year and a half now. A local baker makes a cinnamon roll that feels like it weighs 5 pounds. They are so good but I have NOT turned into their parking lot. Why can’t broccoli taste like cinnamon rolls?
