There’s an Indian shop just up the road from my nest, it sells all sorts of things, from incense, food & spices. I was making a fish curry stew one day and realised I had run out of chillies to taste with.. So off I went to this mystical shop, I got what I needed and on my way to the till, I got distracted by what I’d call a minor exhibition of randomly selected not so interesting tea, but I saw this little box that cost R12 (R7=1$. So you can do the math) anyway, I said why not? Would be exciting to start off with some chai before my indian dish. Returned to my nest and prepared a cup.. Or two.. Maybe three:)? Can’t remember… I do remember the smell of burning curry though. Haha… I was literally obliviously relaxed.. I mean, I was irie.. Frankly,subtle sedation would describe the state I was in… I felt reawakened and energised to cook again and get to some work.. Not a bad choice at all… Recommend it as a ‘take a break’ kind of tea.. Just don’t add sugar or milk.. Yes, it is tea bagged:( but don’t let that discourage you from trying this spicy tea… Not bad at all:)
This is You :-D

Bio
I’m a God fearing Nazarite silent tea lover…
I’m a painter and poet
I enjoy cooking, I also practice martial arts. I love the earth and animals.. To me, it doesn’t matter whether your’e grey, pink, blue, yellow, green, orange, crimson, turqoise etc… A cup of tea will always restore us to our natural same true colour… One heart.
I rate my tea according to the following criteria..
1:It’s ability to have it’s own unique effect on my mind,body and spirit-Can it heal, sedate, relax, rejuvinate one?
2:It’s ability to inspire me to create
3:It’s scarcity
4:It’s flexibility- can it be experimented with other ingredients?
Can I also enjoy it cold (even though some teas are best when drank hot from the pot)
5:It’s unique taste that will have me addicted causing me to sneak around at 3a.m to brew a pot.
With that said, this is how I rate my tea:
0-20: This was a very bad idea, I should’ve trusted my instincts. Waste of money, time and water. Perhaps this company would be better off purifying fuel. How dare they take chances and sell diesel to us!
21-30- Wow, this is just straight up horrible, not disgusting, just really bad tea.. I’d rather drink warm coca-cola and call it a day. It was nearly tea. Not as bad as diesel tea. I guess I just have to be grateful that I have some form of ‘tea’.
31-40- Honestly, it’s not the worst kind I’ve had, I’ll give the farmers of this tea some credit for their effort, (well tried guys, keep going! You’ll get there one day.)
41-50- It’s good to know that I can add some of my own ingredients to this tea and make it taste better, still not the best tea in the world, but not that bad, I just can’t drink it without added stuff, my day will be ruined if I do.. I’ll just put it at the back of my cupboard, save it for desperate hard times..
51-65- hmmm… This tea is what I would call a textbook tea.. It’s somewhat balanced, does’nt have any strengths, neither does it have any blurring weaknesses.. Perhaps it’s too balanced(rubbing chin with eyebrow up) hmmm… There’s something dubious here… Shall we have another pot and find out what it is?
65-75- now you see, this is some good tea, I would gladly offer my frienemies this tea, it’s livening.. Akward silences can easily be broken jus by mentioning something about this tea, even if what is being said is repeated.. I’d curl up on my couch and read a book with this stuff awesome.
75-85- woah!!! This is just great! So this is what being alive feels like, sure am glad to be alive at this present moment! I feel awesome, Irie and blessed! Let’s go make something! I’d carry this tea everywhere I go, I’d give random people samples.. (Unless it’s loose leaf)
85-95- This tea is quite unique, it is very valuable, I won’t say much about it because that’s how sacred it is. I struggled to find it. Even though it would be practical and wise to drink it sparingly by counting each leaf and measure the water, I slowly slip away.. I might just blow it all!(Face of a tea addict) It’s just too good to be true. Tastes even better with ingredients! It’s best to leave me alone when I’m drinking this sacred tea, rather talk to the trees instead, they’ll overstand you better.
96-100:-This is a once in a life time Loose Leaf Tea. You only find this kind of tea when your’e not looking for it.. I would’nt even dare add extra ingredients to it!! This tea is the off spring of very rare ancient teas. meditate with it in tranquility up in the mountains.
