It’s rainy today. The temp is around 60. Feeling quite like fall. I had to go out and came home cold and wet. What is a tea lover to do? I dug deep in the tea drawer for my “fall” teas and came up with this one. I like the smoke flavor. It’s not overpowering and the spice comes out nicely. Just a lovely tea on a chilly and damp afternoon.
I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.
I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.
100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.

Jealous!
About the tea, or the weather? This morning it is 45, with an expected high of 58. I just love thiskind of weather.
