Today I’m taking a hike through a forest. It’s early spring, the air is warm and the sweet, wet wood scent is emanating from every pore in a ground and every single tree around me. Delicate, new arrivals are poking their heads through the fertile forest floor ready to thrive and bask in sun’s life giving rays. The world is awaking, the early spring flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping.

When I open my eyes I realize it’s all an illusion. The world around me is covered in a foot of snow, the air is cold and unforgiving and there is no trace of sun rays anywhere. My illusion? A cup of hot, tasty, smooth Master Han’s Shu Pu’er.

I close my eyes again and continue sipping and dreaming…

Bio

It’s been a while since I joined Steepster and I think it’s time to write up a bio.

I’m a stay at home, married mom with 5 kids, most of them grown up. Only one remains with us now, my 7 year old sunshine which I push out of the house to school every morning and it’s not an easy thing to do.

I’m an avid gardener during a growing season and my goal is to grow most of the food we eat and save some for winter too. I’m also an artist and a huge nerd. I read books, I play computer games. My very first game was World of Warcraft (was addicted to it solid for a year, lol), then came Skyrim, Minecraft (with my 7 year old) and few others less memorable along the way.

I began drinking tea on regular basis just over 2 years ago when I decided to kick my morning coffee habit. It wasn’t pretty… I couldn’t function for 3 days straight but survived. A year ago I discovered loose tea and found Steepster… The rest is history.

Some of the staples in my cupboard are Dragonwell green tea, Japanese sencha, Silver Needle white tea, green roobois, darjeeling and pu’erh. I also drink variety of flavored teas for fun and I like to order tisanes and mix them with straight teas for even more variety.

Recently I found out how much I love oolong so will be stocking up on that as well.

There are few other tea lovers in my family: my mom and dad, my oldest daughter, my son and my youngest 7 year old. She loves when I try out different teas and I always have to remember to make enough for her to have a little taste.
