I received a generous sample of this from Kaylee, my Secret Pumpkin. It’s really good! Even without my sense of smell I found this to be a good, smooth cup of tea. I’m getting kind of tired of saying that. For every tea I like I say something along those lines: smooth, or not bitter, or not astringent. But since I can’t smell I can’t really taste all the lovely, subtle flavors in a tea. But don’t under estimate how important smooth is. I’ve had some teas that were very astringent and/or very bitter. Believe me, a smooth tea is something to treasure. This one is certainly a treasure.

With my allergies, I can totally relate. I’ll make myself a cup of something that I know is wonderful, deep with nuance, only it’s not there.Then I start wondering if I imagined the whole thing… It comes and goes, depending on the pollen count, or the mold count, or whatever. Sometimes I’m a supersmeller/taster, other times I’m not.
I should move somewhere north & cold (although I guess being North and Cold are not always synonymous these days) so that I can savor flavors & aromas with wild abandon & not have to take allergies into account.
