drank Zhu Rong Yunnan Black by Verdant Tea
3294 tasting notes

I’m still in love with this tea.
And now a rant about the US postal service:
I am still waiting on a parcel from Verdant. According to USPS.com, it arrived at the St. Louis sorting facility on the 10th & was sent out to my PO on the 11th, scheduled for delivery on the 12th. That was a week ago. Nobody knows where it is. It has Sichuan Caravan in it.
Sorry, I think I bitched about this yesterday.

It may well be one block over. I got a package on my porch last week for the same address but one street over. I almost opened it before it dawned on me that I wasn’t expecting anything with Target logo tape sealing it. We get stuff all the time that is for a couple houses up or down the street from us. Boo to the post office.

Actually, it has never been checked in at my post office. In fact, since I’ve been bitching about it so much, they are watching for it for me (it’s a small PO). The online tracking info has it leaving hazelwood, but after that it is listed as ‘in transit’…
Today I sent an email to the USPS, & another one to Verdant, asking if perhaps it had been returned (for some ridiculous reason). No replies yet.

Bio

I’m so excited to have found this community! I’m a self-employed Harpist (acoustic & electric – Originals, Classical, Rock, Jazz, etc) & Singer/Songwriter. My days & nights revolve around teaching at home, playing gigs, gardening,& fixing awesome food to eat. My schedule is different everyday, but I just go with the flow, & I sip a lot of tea!

My love of Tea began with Herbals back in the 70’s. One of my favorites was a licorice blend from House of Hezekiah, an old tea shop in Kansas City. There was also a tea with mint, rose petals, chamomile, etc called Nuclear Casual Tea.
In the 80’s I gave up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, (& a few illicit substances…), and brewed medicinal blends & tinctures to support 4 pregnancies (all children born at home). In the 90’s my love affair with green teas began when I discovered ‘The Republic of Tea’. Their beautiful teas & packaging inspired my original song, “TeaMind”, from my CD “Zen Breakfast”. If you’d like to hear the song for free, drop by my website.

In general, I drink my teas straight, but occasionally I add a pinch of Stevia & maybe some coconut or almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy, gluten, & various other things & avoid most sweets.)

I’ve explored a variety of teas:
Whites tend to be a little bland…sorry
Oolongs – wonderfully sensual
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything once.

And Black Tea, Oh how I love thee!!
I am on a quest for the most wonderful breakfast cup! I will find you, my Love!
