Dug this one out this morning. Really enjoyable, mellow and smooth and just what I wanted. It was supposed to be cool overnight, so I was anticipating the joy of a hot cup in my hands. But alas, although it was coolish outside, my windows weren’t open so it was 74 in my apartment. sigh. Oh, well, this is North Dakota, so winter is coming. I’ll have plenty of opportunities for a warm cup in my cold hands in the coming months.

I need caffeine!! This darned prednisone keeps me from sleeping, so I got only a few hours last night, and this afternoon I’m driving to the Mayo Clinic to start that aspirin desensitization procedure. Think good thoughts for me! I’m sure I’ll chime in over the next few days. I’m going to bring a few tea bags with me to Mayo. Maybe some of my basic Twinings like Prince of Wales and peppermint.

I’ve heard such good things about Mayo. Hopefully you get some help there. Good thoughts.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
