I have been very good about making myself pick something from the sip down pile lately, but this morning I felt like having the good stuff. This tea also has the benefit of being high caffeine, and I have a headache (weather induced) so that was appealing as well.

My daughter was down at my desk and I asked her to try it, she said, “Mmm, that’s smooth” and that’s pretty high praise from a teenager.

In other news, in two days we are making our trip to Chicago. My husband is a Danish citizen and due to the new biometric components of the Danish passports, we can only get his passport renewed in Sacramento, Chicago or NYC. Chicago is the closest (at 6 hours away) so we are making a weekend of it. We really love fine dining, so we are having dinner Saturday at Table 52 and Sunday at Spiaggia. We are planning to visit several tea stores (because my husband is a saint) and other than that, playing it by ear. Our hotel is downtown so we are near a lot of the fun stuff.

Have a great time! Lots of good museums and beautiful lake front. You might want to try the Segway tour. It’s lots of fun.

Bio

Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.

Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.

If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.
