This was another of the 24 Days of Tea from David’s. It certainly looked like a good spicy chai. There were whole cloves in the leaf and some bright read teeny berries. Very pretty. I had no problem with it. I am not going to rate it though, since my flu has completely blocked my nose and I tasted nothing. On the plus side, I did not taste bitterness or sourness. When your throat is this dry and sore from coughing, a nice warm liquid feels good.

Just to be whiney, I am so tired of being sick. In fact, I’m just tired. If I take a slightly deeper than normal breath I cough. My ribs actually ache from it. The doctor told me if I didn’t feel significantly better by Sunday I should call. Dang it. I don’t feel better. But it’s only Friday. maybe tomorrow is the day I turn the corner. Meanwhile, off to sit in my chair and stare blankly at the TV.

The tiny red berries are actually tiny little red peppercorns! ^^

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.
