Took this one with me to church tonight. I still enjoy the spice of it. Noticed the cinnamon especially tonight. Left a curious dry mouth feeling that I sometimes get with cinnamon.

And I really have to say I freaking LOVE my new travel mug. I bought it at a Castel Rouge (SCA) fundraiser up in Winnipeg last winter. I didn’t use it much until lately, when my old travel mug finally gave up the ghost. This one remains cold on the outside, even when boiling water is poured into it. I made my tea around 5:15 and took it with me to church. It sat with its lid off for about 2 hours. I put the lid back on to drive home. Tea was still HOT. No leaks, cold outside, hot inside, what’s not to love?

Nice! Are you involved with the SCA? I have several friends here in Winnipeg who are, and it makes me wonder if we have other connections. Which would not surprise me at all because that’s how Winnipeg works.

Very likely we do know some of the same people. I don’t know all their actual names, just their SCA names. David and Robyn Brough, Daria Rakowski, Jocelyn Wirth. There is Dave Bonwick and his partners Lauren and.. darn, I can’t think of her real name! Oh, well, small world, right?

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.
