I made a couple of cups of Nepal Masala yesterday, and added a teaspoon of Anhui Qimen Hong, a slightly smoky chinese black tea, and it improved to whole: the spices had been a bit overwhelming, but now the balance was very nice.
An ex-coffee addict who just a little while ago finally admitted that coffee was only making him nervous and anxious. I´m at awe of the rich world that has opened to my senses after changing to tea. Each morning as I open my eyes I´m already thinking about which tea to have… it´s just wonderful, not a habit but a real passion. Or at least the beginnings of one.
Otherwise, I´m 36- years old, have a wonderful wife, two kids, two dogs. We live in an 70- year old house that isn´t sure to be standing for too many more.
With teas I´m still very much at the beginning stage where there´s so many things I haven´t tried and don´t know about that it´s almost overwhelming, but I´m trying to learn to enjoy the process and to be open to everything new.
I just keep on marveling about how satisfying a cup of tea really can be, on so many levels!
