Indigobloom drank Pure Pu'erh by The Tea Merchant

Backlog!
Been so busy lately I haven’t had time to do much beyond peek in here once in awhile. Job hunting is tiring. Seriously, I am mentally exhausted.
And maybe it’s some form of anxiety, but I can almost feel the opportunities swirling around me… and that there is one waiting to be caught by me. Perhaps that is because I really need to have a job, it’s critical for me atm. Of course, feeling that there is a position out there ripe for the picking and suited to my skills, well it almost makes the anxiety worse because I’m reaching out blind in all directions, not knowing how or when I’ll stumble upon my dream role. deep breath!
Does that make ANY sense at all… ha.
On a side note, I went to a university alumni night last night… bumped into some old Profs and shared a beer. What a fun night! and I signed up for the alumni association board of directors. Hopefully that will lead to something down the road for me. and add a little kick to my resume :)
Anyhow, I’m still on contract for almost two weeks so I had this at work yesterday. First steep was blah again, but the second and third were fantastic! I honestly felt as if I had eaten sweet bread!! in fact I didn’t get hungry for lunch until 1.5hrs after I normally do.

I hope you land a great one! Sounds like a good night and also a good tea. Sweet bread sound delicious right now!

Are you doing a rinse on this one prior to the first steep?

*I’m a… typo!

Profile

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
