My knitting circle exchanged gifts last Sunday, and one of my presents was a bag of this tea., I don’t think it will be a favorite, but it’s a perfectly good tea for a cold winter afternoon. What makes it special is that my friend went to the trouble to buy something she knew I liked, something that she would never buy for herself. So I will think of her and the hours of fun we’ve had together this past year every time I drink it.

And GRRRRR my new electric kettle was supposed to be here Wednesday but of course the Fed Ex came while I was out shopping. Then they didn’t make it to my place yesterday. So maybe today.

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 6 OZ / 177 ML
Evol Ving Ness

A new kettle! Hurray!

Mine is on its last legs, so I am considering a new one. Which one did you get and are you happy with it?

It didn’t come AGAIN. Now Fed Ex says it will be delivered on the next business day, which is Monday? So screw it. When it comes (if it comes?) I am sending it back. I paid extra for two day shipping. Instead, I see that Kohl’s has all their electric kettles on sale. I am choosing Aroma again. I feel like sticking my tongue and out saying “So there!”

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.
