Well, my sense of smell has waned as the day went on, but my tummy became a little unhappy. Bloated. Gassy. Yuck. No ginger tea. Why do I have no ginger tea??? I brewed this one up instead as my nose was a little stuffy, and I thought the mint might help the tummy. Tonight it just did not hit the spot. I think I’ll take my unhappy tummy to bed and sleep it off. I rather suspect the aspirin regimen is responsible for the tummy. I’ll give it a few more days and then call the doc to see what he thinks. Aside from the tummy, the aspirin desensitization seems to have been good. I am breathing well, and even have some sense of smell. So the aspirin is reducing the inflammation in the sinuses, and that’s worth the bloating and gas.

Does anyone have a good tea for my tummy? Ginger? Peppermint? Help?

Chamomile maybe? Definitely peppermint!

I remember enjoying DAVID’s Peppermint Amore. I wasn’t going to order any tea until after Christmas. Hmmm… There are probably decent enough bagged peppermint teas at the grocery store.

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.
