Today, at last, felt somewhat like fall. The average high for this time of year here in Fargo ND is 61 with an average low of 38. But the highs have been in the mid to upper 70s and the lows have been upper 50s and low 60s. The average date for the first frost is 10/9. There is no frost on the horizon for the next 10 days. I WANT FALL!!! Please don’t get me wrong. I do not want winter. But days where a sweatshirt is comfy would be nice. I don ’t like to drink hot tea in the warm weather.

However, the temp is 60 right now with falling rain, so it was the perfect day for a cup of hot tea. I grabbed this one because it is one of my all time faves, and I need to drink up some of my opened teas before I start on new, unopened tea. This one is always so smooth and rich without any bitterness. Just pure tea drinking satisfaction.

You sent the cold front our way. It was raining and blowing sideways when I got up this morning! (It’s high time. We’ve had a pretty unrelenting extended summer, too.)

It’s good to see you, Mandy Barone.

I want some cool, low humidity days so I can teach outside without a mask. Please, is that too much to ask? Ha ha!

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.
