Terri HarpLady drank Golden Fleece by Verdant Tea

3294 tasting notes

My son Drew (age 26) sat through a gongfu session with me this morning, that’s rare.
Part of our conversation included him mentioning that I should get more ‘Bolder Breakfast’ from the Tea Spot. We haven’t had that tea around here for quite some time, and it is a favorite of his. I also enjoy it. I told him, “you know, you’re allowed to buy tea too!”

A few years ago both of my sons were much more into tea. They are more into the flavored teas, of course, so they were placing crazy Adagio orders, getting teas that fit the themes of their various video games, the Dr, etc. Then they started drinking coffee. I blame college, LOL.

It could be worse. They could be drinking beer instead of coffee.

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!
