I played a beautiful wedding today, one of those really heart-felt weddings where the groom has tears streaking down his face, tears of joy. I love it when the groom can’t hardly talk because he’s so emotionally effected. It was beautiful. The day was also beautiful! 58 degrees & sunny! A perfect day for a 45 minute drive (each way).

I drank a cup of this tea before I left the house. It’s a rich & bold Assam. I love the name Mokabari. I’ve loved that name ever since I first had a Mokabari estate tea. Every time I see this tea’s name, I’m like an exotic parrot, pronouncing it over & over again, in slightly different ways. I’m like that with interesting words. It’s one of my quirks.

Haha! Terri, I do the same with words, thought I was such an odd ball! It’s like words have a life of their own sometimes, don’t you think? Never heard of Mokabari before, guess who’ll be the annoying thing today…MoKAbaaaari, MOkaaaBAriiiiii!!!!

LOL, I like to put emphasis on the K, giving it that thick upper palate sound & roll the R. NofarS just posted another tea with an interesting name, Ostfriesen Teemischung :)
Guess I’ll be playing with that one for awhile…

Mokabari is an exceptional tea. Also the taste to cost ratio is extremely high. There are tea that cost twice as much that don’t taste half as good.

Bio

I’m so excited to have found this community! I’m a self-employed Harpist (acoustic & electric – Originals, Classical, Rock, Jazz, etc) & Singer/Songwriter. My days & nights revolve around teaching at home, playing gigs, gardening,& fixing awesome food to eat. My schedule is different everyday, but I just go with the flow, & I sip a lot of tea!

My love of Tea began with Herbals back in the 70’s. One of my favorites was a licorice blend from House of Hezekiah, an old tea shop in Kansas City. There was also a tea with mint, rose petals, chamomile, etc called Nuclear Casual Tea.
In the 80’s I gave up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, (& a few illicit substances…), and brewed medicinal blends & tinctures to support 4 pregnancies (all children born at home). In the 90’s my love affair with green teas began when I discovered ‘The Republic of Tea’. Their beautiful teas & packaging inspired my original song, “TeaMind”, from my CD “Zen Breakfast”. If you’d like to hear the song for free, drop by my website.

In general, I drink my teas straight, but occasionally I add a pinch of Stevia & maybe some coconut or almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy, gluten, & various other things & avoid most sweets.)

I’ve explored a variety of teas:
Whites tend to be a little bland…sorry
Oolongs – wonderfully sensual
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything once.

And Black Tea, Oh how I love thee!!
I am on a quest for the most wonderful breakfast cup! I will find you, my Love!
