gmathis drank Seffarine (Verbena Mint) by da.u.de

This is probably the prettiest tisane I’ve ever seen. Nice big, fluffy flower chunks.

It seemed a little mint heavy, but the floral combo behind it was a nice sensory experience. Still licking my lips to figure out what all was there, even after the cup was finished. My senses are dulled (heavy, heavy stress at work … fretting a bit about elder care issue after mom’s surgery) so it was nice to have something else to think about for a bit.

I like the sound of that stress-zapping blend! Hang in there. I understand elder care issues very, very well.

Thanks, Jenn. I was genetically loaded with daughter guilt :) I may have to load up on comforting herbals over the next few weeks!

Hang in there! Give yourself a break. I didn’t give myself one and it would have been much better if I had!

Bio

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.
