Got up early today, had breakfast, went & played a church service.
I’m not a church goer, but if they hire me to come play, I’ll be there.
I’ll even attempt to sing the hymns with the congregation :)
Today they tried to give me communion. Even though I said, no thank you, the lady sat a cube on bread on my music stand (I was playing). Even if I was a christian, I can’t have gluten, or wine for that matter. So I saved my cube of bread and after church got out I set it outside for the birds to enjoy :)
Anyway, sorry to get off on a tangent. I got home a little while ago, made myself another breakfast (actually, the same one I had early…why not?).
And I’m having this tea. I forgot how much I enjoy this little tangerines stuffed with Shou.
I usually add a little something to sweeten it, as that will bring out the tangerine flavor more, but today I’m just drinking it straight.
Good for multiple steeping, good to the last drop.

I would like to try pu (sheng and shu) stuffed in a tangerine, or an orange. Don’t know why; it’s like the pu stuffed in bamboo. It just intrigues me for some reason!

I didn’t care so much for the bamboo one I tried, but I’ll probably try it again at some point. Like you said, it’s intriguing :)

I just had the same tea recently and was surprised by how much I liked it. Though I liked it better with only a tiny bit of peel, rather than a large chunk per the directions.

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!
