Well, it’s done. No more sense of smell, even what little of it I had for a few weeks. Life isn’t fair and that’s just how it is. Luckily, you don’t have to have a sense of smell to be able to live. It’s nice, and it makes every thing taste better, but it doesn’t keep your heart pumping, so maybe I shouldn’t complain. I still enjoy this tea even if I can’t taste it.

what happened?

I have nasal polyps. I had my fifth sinus surgery in April. Expensive waste of time. Sigh. $3,800 to feel half-way decent for about six weeks. I’m trying to not feel sorry for myself.

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.
