It’s 2 am and I just spent the last four hours going back and forth inside/outside the house. There were possibilities of auroras tonight, that’s why. I feel very lucky to have witnessed them more than once in my life…

I was telling friends earlier that auroras had been life changing for me… totally worth being patient for. I wish for everyone to witness them at least once in their lives.

Unfortunately, they didn’t happen tonight.

Oh well…another night hopefully.

Now I’m drinking this tea and shockers! It’s good.

This is a mouthful of fresh evergreens and creamy buttery oolong.

Dame Vanilla adds all kinds of velvety and fruity notes to the blend.

Just wow.

I don’t have a bunch to say, see previous review.

I will just nom it till it can give no more.

And that’s all.

My dad recalls seeing the aurora this far south when he was young. I have heard some of my astronomy friends say they have seen them in recent years. Sadly I have not. I imagine it to be freaky awesome.

I tried posting this earlier, and just noticed that it never posted (still said POSTING…)

I remember the first time I really saw an aurora. I’d seen them in the distance when I was a kid once that I vaguely remember, but when I was living in the UP of Michigan, there was one night where it felt like we were surrounded by the aurora. Everything was green and beautiful for quite a while. (I went to bed before it stopped.) It was perhaps one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

I really, really want to see an aurora sometime before I die! I am rather far south (Pennsylvania, USA), but they have on occasion made their way down here.

I just ordered a few teas today from Whispering Pine (Cedar Ridge and Clari Tea). Your reviews make me excited to get them in the mail!

Lucky. I’m too far south to view auroras.

KS, “freaky awesome” is such a good way to describe them!!

Cheri, so glad you got to see them once. Now you must experience the multi-coloured ones!!

Amy, i think it’s on many peoples bucket list!
I’m glad you like my WP reviews, their teas are among my favourites!! And I love Cedar Ridge, good choice, can’t wait to read your review :-)

Lariel, maybe someday you will happen to travel North and see them :-)

Tea Fairy, how do you suggest brewing this tea? I have a sample on the way from Sarsonator and only enough for one brew. Did you use very short steeps?

TheTeaFairy

Allan, i did what I would have done with a regular TGY, I did short steeps, using a gaiwan. But most people here did it western style so I guess it’s up to you :-)
But short steeps worked really well for me.

AllanK

I think I will try it in that blue teapot you loved.

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
