Bio
I’m so excited to have found this community! I’m a self-employed Harpist (acoustic & electric – Originals, Classical, Rock, Jazz, etc) & Singer/Songwriter. My days & nights revolve around teaching at home, playing gigs, gardening,& fixing awesome food to eat. My schedule is different everyday, but I just go with the flow, & I sip a lot of tea!
My love of Tea began with Herbals back in the 70’s. One of my favorites was a licorice blend from House of Hezekiah, an old tea shop in Kansas City. There was also a tea with mint, rose petals, chamomile, etc called Nuclear Casual Tea.
In the 80’s I gave up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, (& a few illicit substances…), and brewed medicinal blends & tinctures to support 4 pregnancies (all children born at home). In the 90’s my love affair with green teas began when I discovered ‘The Republic of Tea’. Their beautiful teas & packaging inspired my original song, “TeaMind”, from my CD “Zen Breakfast”. If you’d like to hear the song for free, drop by my website.
In general, I drink my teas straight, but occasionally I add a pinch of Stevia & maybe some coconut or almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy, gluten, & various other things & avoid most sweets.)
I’ve explored a variety of teas:
Whites tend to be a little bland…sorry
Oolongs – wonderfully sensual
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything once.
And Black Tea, Oh how I love thee!!
I am on a quest for the most wonderful breakfast cup! I will find you, my Love!

I like this one a lot too and I am sad it’s out of stock :(
July 1st :)
Yay! :)
Brenden – Can you put me back some(more) GO to go with a July 1 order that will include the Bi Luo so I don’t have to do two? Pretty please?
You mean blend it now and set it aside for you? I’m sure I’ll have plenty of GO left on the 1st :)
Oh OK – I just didn’t want you to run out before I did my order – because that would make sad.
Ahh, no worries :) I’m all loaded up on the stuff! :D
That makes me happy. I want some to put back for later because I love the way it changes over time. Happy Solstice Brenden
Happy Solstice to you, too! And also Terri! Golden Orchid has hijacked your post. Oops :P
Black Yunnans rock, So glad you liked it Terri!
How bout Ailaoshan black, will you have plenty as well, or should I consider hoarding some more?
Tons! :)
That makes me happy (might still hoard just a little on july first though, I’m insecure)
Laughs! You remind me of me
Haha! And you of me :-) lol, now that we have TONS of tins, why not hoard right?
We’re prepared anyway. Although I have things to go in pretty much most of the ones that are coming
I haven’t tried the Golden Orchid, but tomorrow I’ll probably sample the ailaoshan black :)
Hope you like it Terri!
I’m having the rest of Yi Mei Ren from YS that you sent me. When I reviewed it a few days ago, I wrote that it reminded me of Oriental Beauty, it’s even more the case tonight, so sweet and honey like, I’m loving it!!
