Picked this one tonight because I am avoiding caffeine. I think this one has begun to lose its flavor. It is a savory rooibos with a fair amount of bitterness. I don’t remember it being bitter but I could be wrong. I can’t concentrate on the flavors anyway, all I can think about is my poor cat, now gone. She died around 11 am today. At least she didn’t sutter. She would have died of starvation as she had refused to eat. The vet offered to rerun the tests but I didn’t think them wrong. He said her numbers were indicative of kidney failure where the other vet wanted me to spend a fortune I don’t have on specialists. Letting my cat go was one of the most painful things I have ever done.

I brewed this once in an 18oz teapot with 3 tsp leaf and boiling water for 5 min.

Preparation

Such a hard day, but you made the right and gentle choice. Take care.

So sorry about your kitty! I know how hard that is!

Allen, I understand fully that that was one of the most painful and awful decisions you have had to make. At 15 Pandora was part of your life and family for a long time and I imagine she was very special to you. Thinking of you as you grieve. So sorry for you loss..

Sorry Allan the “Chairman” is not with me anymore either. I can relate.

Tealizzy

Oh no, mrmopar! What happened?

I feel for you guys, I lost my favorite cat ever a year and a half ago to cancer. I still miss him.

MR Mopar, sorry to hear about the chairman, I thought he was only a kitten? What happened? My cat, whom I miss horribly, was 15.

:( So sorry to hear. We had a cat (12, I believe) with kidney failure, and went through with all the tests, etc. He probably suffered more than he should have, so I’m glad to hear your dear cat did not.

The chairman had to relocate.

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
