Wild-Picked Yunnan Jin Jun Mei from Verdant Tea

Terri HarpLady drank Wild-Picked Yunnan Jin Jun Mei by Verdant Tea

I stayed up late writing (after saying I wouldn’t!), but still got in my 7.5 hours of needed sleep, & my yoga & journaling. It did set me back on my timeline for this morning however (yes, even right brainers can have a timeline, however loose it may seem). So I have to leave the house shortly to visit the salt room & get my lungs in order, but wanted/needed to at least get in one cup before I go. I also brewed a 2 cup insulated thing of Bolder breakfast, which should be just about right to drink when I exit the salt spa to run errands.

I love this tea, of course, I love so many teas and most of them have a dark, rich profile, such as this one. Malty & toast-like, buttery, but not sweet. It’s a savory brew, perfect for the morning for me.

Everyone have a great day!

I think you and I like the same taste profiles.

Profile

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 are wonderful, especially Orchid & Peach! (I love anything with Peaches)
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, unless that flavor is peaches or chocolate, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything.

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!
