Bio
A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.
Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.
It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.
If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.
As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.
What kinds of teas do I normally like?
YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).
A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.
ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender
DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.

:( Get well soon! ♥
Oh dear, I hope that clears up ASAP.
well, then i would recommend a steep of 10 or so…. i know because i tried =0)
Yay for magic tea? HOpefully?
Heh, JustJames, you should really read my last review of this, where I felt badly you were so burned by this tea, while I was still seeking out the fire. I have steeped it now 20+ minutes, and am going to take a sip shortly. I may have also quoted you in another tealog, where I had a tea that smelled like coffee, tasted like toffee, and was made out of rooibos. The trifecta to avoid for you.
Thanks all for the kind wishes! :)
oh dear…. i am beginning to feel like quite the wuss! B POWER!
20 minutes! Hope it worked!
