First time drinking this as iced tea. It’s pretty good that way, actually. Same brewing method as usual for work. Make it up in the morning with 4 cup’s worth of leaves in my 1 QT pitcher, let cold steep for 8 hours and then sweeten and drink. I work 10 hour days these days so it’s totally doable.

I’ve drunk through 1/3 of the pitcher already with another third in my glass. It’s pretty good. Really refreshing during the sip and as soon as I stop drinking, the dragonwell green-tea-ness comes through pretty strongly for a few moments. If it were strongly green through the whole drink, I might have difficulty with it. It’s one of the difficulties I have with green tea in general. Also I didn’t have any of the usual ‘green tea nausea’ I have on an empty stomach.

In cat news: remaining kitties stayed nearby during all of yesterday, even the standoffish girl kitty. The initial grief has died down a bit though I still can’t talk about it or even type up this note without tearing up a bit (or a lot). I miss him but he was not having a good life anymore. The regret for the decision to have him put to sleep is that his life was so miserable now and not that I let him leave me. Hardest decision of pet parentship.

Thanks. It’s been difficult, especially since this is the third kitty I’ve lost to illness/age in 3 years. But he’s with his sister now and I can take comfort in the fact that he’s not feeling bad anymore.

Oh no, I’m so sorry. :(

I know what you are going through. In May of 2013, I had to see my belovèd cat, Elton, who was almost 19, across the Rainbow Bridge. It broke my heart. He had developed cancer and was going blind. I know in my heart that one day we will be together again, and I find comfort in that. :::Hug:::
