I made a pot of this last night to get me going for my writing session. I really like this tea. Really, it’s nothing spectacular, but I enjoy it. I am going to go out and buy some more right now, since I am almost out.

I usually make just a cup, but last night I made the pot and sipped out of a cup from my grandmother’s wedding china from 1919. The cup is so light and thin you can see through it. Since I’m afraid of breaking it I rarely use it, but last night I just needed a little something extra to perk me up. I got the CT scan results and I am afraid the cancer is not defeated, since a new lesion was noted. Now, that might not mean anything and I have to wait until I see the oncologist on Friday. But you see why I decided I needed a little something to perk me up. The combination of this tea, being one of my faves, and Nonna’s china made me happy.

It’s amazing how, when you need it, that tea in that cup can be so grounding and reassuring. This is one of my cozy teas too.

Wishing the best for your results!

Here’s to finding small ways to bring yourself comfort and pleasure! Hope the scanxiety isn’t too bad and that your appointment brings good news.

Bio

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.
