I had an awesome gig last night, but stayed up way too late & ate dark chocolate, so I woke up with a headache, which happens every time I eat chocolate at night. Dammit!
It’s been awhile since I drank this one, which is ridiculous, because like some of the other verdant teas in my cupboard, I have multiple versions of this one. I have a bag from summer of 2013 and spring of 2014, & I think fall of 2014. I’m not sure what the current version I’m drinking is, but I’m not allowed to buy any new bags until I’ve drank up what I have (that said after viewing yesterdays email from Verdant saying the new version is available…).
This is a tasty tea, different in many ways, with a tart quality, that leaves an almost perfumed sensation in the mouth & sinuses (sensation, not taste), and gives a really nice head buzz, whether I drink it gongfu, or with a more standard steeping.
Next up: I’m really addicted to butter tea right now (made with coconut oil, coconut milk, & coconut butter…see my posting from a few days ago for a recipe), so I’m pulling out the Hunan Wild Tips Ye Jian Hand Roasted Heicha (YS) again…like every day this week. Hopefully it will cure my headache!
Onward through the fog…
