December Sipdown Challenge – a genmaicha or hojicha

I have given up caffeine after 3 pm, with only the occasional slip where I have it between 3 and 4. Otherwise there is no sleeping.

A couple of years ago I discovered that I loved ice cream and hot tea. One of my favorite combinations was ice cream and a pot of Lapsang alongside. I was sad to give up my tea and ice cream treat but the discovery of hojicha has given back this pleasure. This hojicha in particular is my go-to for ice cream and tea nights. I mainly use the powdered for lattes and this one for “by the pot” drinking.

Not a sipdown, as derk sent a very generous amount!

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…
