First, Happy New Year, all! Second, my notices page is broken and I can’t get to it… anyone else?

In another effort to stave off tea deprivation, I’m having a big mug of this tea this morning! I’m going to fly through the sachets I brought with me for this trip if I keep this up…

My notices pages is broken too. Enjoy your Paris — a great way to start the new year!

Definitely Paris is a great tea to start the new year with! And I sent off an email with the notices bug… probably something to do with the calendar changeover?

My notices are working, although it has never gone to zero since the last time they messed up long ago. They used to go down to 11, now they go down to 10 when I have read them all. So if it says I have 19 notices, I really only have 9 new ones.

The first page of my notices are loading now, but I can’t get the second page to load so right now I am stuck with a few “unread” ones that I can’t clear. Oh well!

Profile

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

I’m a grad student and in my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

I have an Adagio Teas UtiliTEA kettle and a Tea Forté Kati cup for brewing. I also have a Chinese Ru Kiln tea set for gongfu brewing.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: These teas are mind-blowingly good to me.
89-80: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
79-70: Tasty teas that I enjoy, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
69-65: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
64-60: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
59-50: Bleh. I usually choose not to finish the cup because life’s too short to drink tea I dislike.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
