Ginger Sage Winter Spa Blend from Verdant Tea

Terri HarpLady drank Ginger Sage Winter Spa Blend by Verdant Tea

I’ve had enough caffeine today!
I have an early morning gig, playing my harp from 7:30 – 9am in the lobby of an office building while the people who work there come in to work. The building manager will have a breakfast buffet set up for them as well. I do several of these types of gigs every year at this time. I’m not an early morning person, & it will take some effort to get myself to go to bed at a reasonable time so that I can get up early enough to leave the house by 6:30, so no more caffeine for today.

This is not a favorite blend, as I’m not a huge fan of sage (except in food) or tulsi, but it’s ok, all the ingredients are high quality, and I really like most of the other ingredients. Since I’ll be working a lot for the next 3 weeks, (I booked 3 more gigs today) I figure my immune sys can use all the help it can get. I’m still not sure what I did with that bag of Sichuan Caravan, so this will do for now.

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!
