All of my tiny teapots have been staring at me for months, showing their feelings of neglect for lack of use. I’m sorry little teapots, I longed to drink from you, but my life was crazy.
Now that I’m back to being self-employed again, life is so much better. (My next CD should be called, “Doesn’t work well with others”.
Anyway, I spent most of yesterday & today drinking wonderful gongfu sessions with this one, using my lovely little yixing that I dedicated to Dian Hongs, & working on the re-release of one of my CDs, Zen Breakfast. I had to redesign the cover, because the original cover art files were corrupt, so I used photos of my beautiful blue lotus pot & cup (Which I got from Mandala), and I’m pretty pleased with the results!

Profile
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!
