From Green Terrace Teas

Our founder’s favorite tea – this is a rare and unique cultivar available only in Taiwan. Grown at elevations of over 2,000 meters, our spring harvest is both exquisite and complex in character. Non-astringent and mildly sweet, this black tea has floral and fruity undertones with notes of peach and honey. Its aroma of sweet, ripe fruit is strong and noticeable instantly after the leaves come in contact with hot water. If you’ve never had a quality black tea before, this variety is a must try. Best brewed with multiple, short infusions.

Chinese Name: 梨山紅茶

Origin/ Harvest: Lishan, Heping District, Taichong City, Taiwan 台灣台中市和平區梨山村 / Spring 2014

I am on my second cup of this today. It’s so good and seemed like a nice way to ease into Monday.

If I am being totally honest, I am killing time trying to avoid going into invoicing hell. Don’t get me wrong, invoicing is great – it gets the checks rolling in. But the process is so spork in the eye boring and by the end of the day I am a drooling idiot.

I know I mentioned before that I am totally in love with our new rescue cat, and he loves me too. He is technically my daughter’s cat but when she is sleeping or on her computer we get some amazing cuddle time. I am becoming a ridiculous cat person. No pictures in my wallet but here are a few online!

Funny thing is, I was sworn off of pets until this one came along.

He’s definitely gorgeous! :) I really want to get a pug, but we live on the sixth floor of our apartment… Not ideal for puppy potty training, lol! Someday!

Oh, and I am totally jealous and sad that I didn’t choose this tea to sample!

No such thing as a ridiculous cat person—as the ancient Egyptians knew well!

He is so funny, now that he has been here a few weeks he is starting to play more. Yesterday when I was doing gongfu, he was doing that thing cats do, where they run around as fast as they can. He was going around my chair, and I had to lift my feet every time he buzzed by because I was afraid his claws would get my feet accidentally!

It’s nice to find a good tea like that, and a free sample, too! Even better! And you guys got a sweetie. So cute! I’m very happy to hear he is adapting to his new home and family so well.

He looks very photogenic (and soft) in the bottom left corner.
