I ordered a lot of tea from The Republic of Tea because they had a BOGO promotion for their Rare Tea Republic teas, which I suppose they’re discontinuing. :-( I really like these teas to brew a big pot of. This one is very tannic and bitter when you first sip it, but once you adjust to that it is wonderfully brisk and refreshing. This was the perfect tea to help settle my stomach after eating a big Ethiopian meal.
Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.
Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.
I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
