Today the brew tastes mostly of a clean and malty vegetable broth with a good squeeze of lemon. The aftertaste is light and creamy-fruity and the liquor leaves a light waxy coating in the mouth.
In other news, I visited my friend further up north over the weekend. In this tiny town of Talmage across Highway 101 from its larger sister town Ukiah, is a buddhist monastery and university that occupies the rundown grounds and buildings of a former mental hospital. It’s creepy and the grounds are littered with, I saw, upward of 50 peacocks. Nestled on the property is a Chinese vegan restaurant that was popping on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant prepares the food without allium plants (garlic, onion, etc), eggs or MSG. We bought 8? plates of food for under $40. I have never once stuffed my face so much only to walk out feeling like a radiant being. What a strange gem.
Interesting destination!
I am so in love with this tea for the price and the quality. Almost done with another bag of it.
Well dang, I upped the rating to 93!
