100

Aaah… I’ve had a good morning so far.

Got out of bed at 4:30am in order to go outside and watch the sunrise… a cup of Ailaoshan in hand, my dog Dexter by my side.

Love the feeling at that hour of the day, it’s like the world stopped, everything got suspended in time for you to admire. It’s so quiet, it has you think you are the only one blessed enough to witness such beauty.

That feeling is ephemeral, cause a few minutes later, nature starts its joyful symphony, and you are quickly reunited with life.

I love this tea. It fills my head with beauty and happiness, starts my day in the best possible way.

Still getting those sweet and salty caramel notes, with some nice cocoa feel.

Love the fruitiness of it, dried dates and figs.

A favourite of the morning….Forever and ever.

Sssshh… I’m still sleeping. :p

Seriously, you have inspired me to try to get up early and see a sunrise. I think it’s been over 15 years since that happened, and it wasn’t from getting up early, it was from staying out late!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Nothing beats that feeling…
Haha! I’ve had those wasted sunrises as well dear…memory lane. Mind you, I went to bed past 2am, so it was almost that!

This makes me want to start dragging my butt out of bed earlier, at least once in awhile!
I love the freshness of the early morning, & of course the birds & their songs!
My problem is I also love the silence of late night & my creativity seems to always awaken & peak from 10pm to 2am.:)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

I understand the night creativity…then just be like me, a night AND a morning person ;-)

TheTeaFairy, do you get that beautiful blanket of cool mist in the mornings?

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Brenden, yes I do… Especially on cooler nights like yesterday. A blanket is right, this morning, it was only at ground level, so dense I could not see through!

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

My favorite :) I had a fair bit of fog here last night and I went for a walk. Truly beautiful stuff!

I work in the night time Indiana woods. Last night a mist enveloped my world. A very special sight/feeling. :)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

I so love that feeling inranger…glad to know the sight doesn’t get old even for you, as it is part of your job to see beautiful nature canvases every day :-)

inranger 11 years ago

Yes, I am blessed. :)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

Every day!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Count me in also :-)

Love these comments!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Brenden, I go night walking as well, but only when there’s a full moon. Then it gets really magical!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Then jump in KS, you are always welcome :-)

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

The smell of thick fog in the forest is my absolute favorite thing <3

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Or after it’s stormed all night and the sun is hitting the trees and you get that unexplainable freshness…mmm

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Ok stop! You’re going to cause a massive human migration to the woods…how could anyone resist all that?

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Right?! Well, I could only do about 5 minutes in the woods today to get some mushrooms I was letting grow a bit more…It’s mosquito hell out there today!

Understand the night and morning person thing. I just have to watch out for the phase out in the middle of the day thing bred into me by years of boredom at school.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Yyz, hate napping in the afternoon, it’s screws me up more than my insomnia!!

Brendan, mmm, fresh mushroom…what kind do you get? Have to be careful though…
And mosquitos have been the worst here this year, they are so big, and they give me allergic reactions, i have a bite the size of an orange on one leg, dammit!

Profile

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
