Looking at previous notes, I seem to make this tea on Sundays a lot and also once when the bf had to go into work at 6 am. Wouldn’t you know, today is Sunday and the bf had to go into work at 6! I swear there is a weird tea association that goes on when I look through my cupboard to pick teas to drink on certain days, so weird!

Anyways, I am enjoying a nice gongfu session with this sheng today. I have been craving sheng lately, must be the mild autumn weather we are having! I did 2 quick rinses with just under boiling water then about a 6s steep. Wonderful sharp, smoky green flavor that melds into honey and apricots. I forgot this is my most apricotty sheng, goes even better with this autumn day! I am listening to classical music and am hopefully going to get closer to finishing documenting our Scotland trip in my journal. Might brave the mall later for some new clothes, or start a new book. Looks to be a nice relaxing day! See previous notes on this delicious tea, I look forward to an afternoon of steeping this :)

Lol the only things I really did that I thought I would is write in my journal and drink tea. A good friend came for a visit so we made food and tea and went to buy a vacuum and a costco trip! A little more energetic of a day but still good! Maybe I’ll read tonight :)

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.
