I was in SUCH a mood for this today!! My first steep was delicious with a teaspoon of sugar, and I’m working through my second delightful steep (5 min) without. I remembered the last time I drank this, it put me in an incredibly great frame of mind, and it is working once again!!! It has cleared away the tiredness cobwebs and I’m able to focus on my work.

A tea related aside: My husband isn’t feeling well today, and his coworker made him some tea. He told me it wasn’t as good as our tea at home, and would I put together a little good tea care package for his work so he could share really good tea with his coworkers? :) :) :) I’m not sure what I’m going to include yet, but I’m thinking def some Irish Breakfast Special Reserve from Golden Moon. Def some Jackee Muntz (they will get a kick out of the smoky peaty) but NOT Thomas Sampson – he is MINE!!! FOREVER!!!! Get away from him!!) Maybe some Organic Black with Coconut for something sweet and different…that should start them off!

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
