drank Parker's Blend by Cuppa Geek
3494 tasting notes

Rain, rain…all day long. I had this one for breakfast. I lit some candles to make it cozy in the house, made waffles and bacon, and settled in for a cup of Parker’s.

I used my Kamjove this time and I think I overleafed just a tad. It was a teaspoon – I did measure – but it was a slightly heaping one. I steeped, pushed the button, steeped again and blended the two.

I am not sad I overleafed a tad because it really made it great as a breakfast tea. If I make this for afternoon I think I will use a scant teaspoon. As it turned out today, it was super fruity and a little brisk, just what you want in the morning, especially with maple syrup on the plate!

Parker’s is more complex than a plain Earl Grey, and is more akin to a good Lady Grey with the fruit flavors in play.

Meanwhile, I am trying to learn qi gong. Anyone else have experience with it here?

I’ve watched qigong practioners at the park. That sounds like something I could do to prepare me for when martial arts can resume… What resources have you been utilizing?

Youtube! Ha ha! I was going to do tai chi but saw a short video on why qi gong might be the better choice since tai chi is aimed at martial arts and qi gong is designed just for health and movement, olus tai chi moves are harder to recall and therefore less likely to get done, whereas qi gong is super simple and requires little space. I found a guy on youtube I like as he explains well. I will look up the links and PM then soon!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
