Premium Silky Green Tea from Bird Pick Tea & Herb
99

I needed a healing tea this morning, soul and body. I only slept about 5 hours Sunday night because I was trying to get the painting done, and I only slept two hours Monday night because I was too wired about the election. It is a hard day, physically and emotionally. I woke up so sore I looked for the truck that ran me over.

I almost drank a Dancong that Bonnie sent me but we needed to do geometry and I knew I couldn’t do lots of little steeps like I wanted, so I opted for this instead. When i opened the pouch i gave the leaves a good sniff and my eyes rolled back in my head. The thing is, I didn’t check my water temp, and I got a really good but really different pot of tea.

I used one teaspoon of leaves in my little pot and quickly made three steeps in a row and poured them together. The water must have been hotter than usual. It tasted less buttery and more nutty, still smooth with no bitterness, though. What a bargain!

Take care of yourself. Geometry is far too sharp and angular after a bumpy, bruisy day :)

LOL! I actually dozed off during the lesson, and she kept working and just had me check it when I woke up! More Motrin, please!

Whoa! Thanks for that reminder, fleurdelily! Heehee! I was just telling the kids we have to cancel the last writers’ group meeting of the month because it falls on Thanksgiving night. They wanted to have it Friday instead. I said, no, that is the Dickens Evening downtown. Back it up to Wednesday? No, kids, i will be cooking! So how about Saturday? No, we are putting up the tree and decorations…whew! It is upon us!
