Ok, you know by now I’m a notorious insomniac.

Been drinking this tea every night this week and it has helped a lot sending me into Morphée’s arms. (Morpheus in English?)

I’m not saying I sleep all night, but it induces a certain sense of euphoria, calmness.

This tea was meant for me… I am the restless type, always doing something. I exercised today and did too much. Overachiever, I do pretty much everything “too much”.

This whispers “STOP” to me. Forces me to pay attention and let it invade me with its soothing effect.

It’s a a tea that says “relax, everything is going to be ok”, and I just let go…

It’s jasmine but with such a twist…who knew pine tasted so good. Now I want to go outside and hug all my pine trees to say thank you! Have you ever hugged a tree? If not, I strongly suggest you do.

I lost count of how much I ordered recently…did I get enough? Hope I did, cause I now NEED this, powerful stuff, really…

If you read my profil, you’ll see that music is one of the most important thing in my life with tea and art. Listening tonight to the beautiful music of Black Dub…that voice, instant shivers. (MzPriss, hope you enjoy ;-))

Can’t wait for mine to get here!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Mandy, you’re lucky, you’re in the States, it’ll get there in no time!! I have to patiently wait for Canada post to move their butts :-)

mj 11 years ago

Good thing I’m a night owl then :-). Totally love to stay up late, but we can’t all be fairies so I also need my beauty sleep

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Lol, I need it too, believe me, not such a glorious fairy after all!!

mj 11 years ago

That sounds exactly like what a glorious fairy would say….your “hiding in plain sight” strategy does not fool me at all!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Hahaha! you are just adorable mj :-)

I got me an oz of Sleeping Bear yesterday. Lets see if it will work on me. Good night ladies;)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Hope it does boychik :-)

Go to bed!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Haha! Kaylee, doesn’t work like that!! How bout yourself?

Kaylee 11 years ago

Well, it’s 3:25am and I’m checking my dashboard every 5 minutes, so it’s possible that I have a bit of a sleeping problem myself.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Haha! Well, I feel less lonely already…although the tea did relax me a lot, it did not send me to bed tonight :-\

Kaylee 11 years ago

Aww, sorry to hear that. But hey, relaxed and not-so-lonely is good too! We should start a Steepster Insomnia Support Group. It will probably have some overlap with the Late Eating and Impulse Purchasing support groups.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Lol.

Reddit is good when you have insomnia, it goes all night.

MzPriss 11 years ago

(I LOVE that song!!) I did actually go to sleep for a change. I’m hoping all y’all are still sleeping

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Good to know Marzipan, thanks..but I usually devour books during the night… And wander around Steepster a little :-)

MzPriss, So happy you got your beauty rest for a change!

MzPriss,

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

(Now it typed your name twice? What’s wrong with my posts lately? Steepster keeps playing trick on me!!)

MzPriss 11 years ago

my dogs are rioting all over the bed. I’m not all the way awake- only had two sips of tea and they’re play-growling and barking

MzPriss 11 years ago

Oh wow, Black Dub is Daniel Lanois and has Brian Blade in it too. This is good!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Black dub was kind of Daniel Lanois’s music project…The signer is Chris Whitley’s daughter. Im glad you know Lanois, not everybody does.

Lol, it must be quite a riot indeed with two dogs in the morning!

MzPriss 11 years ago

Oh yeah, I love Daniel Lanois’ Acadie record – his song The Maker is so beautiful. I love Emmylou Harris’ version and Willie Nelson’s but I love Daniel Lanois’ the very most. I really did like Chris Whitley as well.

Wild dogs.

thanks for sharing music teafairy. really enjoying this, this morning

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Happy to give you some of my music vibes with Sil :-) nothing like dancing with a cup of tea in hand early in the morning!!

mj 11 years ago

TheTeaFairy, thanks for the compliment of eight hours ago :-). I went to sleep and just saw it lol

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

That’s because you ARE adorable mj :-)

Ubacat 11 years ago

Oh wow, sounds like an amazing tea. I wonder if the pine needles open up the lungs. I have asthma and been looking around for alternative supplements and teas.

boychik 11 years ago

Ubacat, I don’t have asthma but I have severe year round allergies. I will let you know when I get it if it helps open up your air passages. You know also when I tried some sheng with camphor menthol notes, I felt so much better. White2tea White Whale was unbelievable. I need to write a note for it

Sil 11 years ago

boychik – really… hmmmm

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 :-)
