Amy oh drank Hu Kwa by Mark T. Wendell

This is definitely a nice tea for a rainy afternoon/early evening.

I admit I do not crave it often, but I love it when the weather is cold and rainy! And I’m happy the heat is starting to come on in my building. Can you say… brrrr?

Yeah always good when the heat comes on :D I keep a heater in my room and I have a pretty good heating blanket as my room is always the coldest in the house :D

hi gmathis – no… we have steam heat in the building and it usually comes on at night but sometimes it gets chilly here during the day. SF buildings are not known for their insulation and tend to be drafty.

I feel your pain!!! I’ve been freezing in my apartment several times. It really bothers me when I come in my apartment feels colder than outside. Old DC apartments for you.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it
