Last Sunday the high was 95. But finally, FINALLY, we have autumn weather. It is 48 degrees and drizzly, so perfect weather for a spicy tea.

This remains one of my faves. On Monday I started radiation for the cancer spots in my lung. I’ve been battling cancer since 2020 so radiation isn’t new for me. last time it took 15 treatments before the extreme fatigue kicked in but this time after treatment #2 I was swimming around in a fog and falling asleep by afternoon break time. This time is only 5 treatments. I guess my body didn’t want to procrastinate.

This tea is absolutely lovely. And going through radiation is the perfect excuse to be utterly lazy. Naps a wonderful things.

Agreed with all of the above — I hope you treat yourself to all the best and most relaxing things, and that the fatigue doesn’t get too bad!

Bio

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.
