gmathis drank Fujian Baroque by Adagio Teas

Heat continues; this will likely be the only hot cuppa I can stand today, so I decided to make it a good one. This is dark and strong and sweet and does emit the cocoa powder notes as advertised.

Thanks to JenW for the sample, and this morning, I just want to thank my Steepster friends who have been so encouraging during a long, hot, difficult summer. So much has been wrong and not-normal that the ability to savor a good cuppa and chat about it a little is a greater blessing that I ever realized pre-disaster. Bless you all.

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
