Creamy Earl Grey from Zenjala Tea Company
92

Today I could taste the vanilla. I didn’t catch it last time. It is very light. The bergamot is nice and medium but the light touch of vanilla makes it very smooth. This is a really good Earl Grey.

My wife is having gall bladder surgery tomorrow. The hospital just called wanting enough money up front to buy a small car. Are they serious? Don’t they remember they took all our money last year? sigh. I need tea. Oh, and they aren’t getting a dime until it clears insurance.

Take care of both of you, including packing yourself some decent teabags for the waiting room. We’ll be praying here.

Like the tasting note, dislike the stress. Praying for you! Sent your tea today!

Hopefully your wife qualifies for laprascopic gall bladder removal-it’s much easier on the body than the standard procedure. I had mine removed that way a couple years ago and it was a piece of cake. Good luck!

Sorry about the insurance hassle. I’m still trying to get my insurance company to pay for reading glasses I got a year ago!

I know how the costs are! My copay this year cou;d have bought a car too! Wiped out my savings! However, I’m no longer blind!
God be with you and your wife!

I wish your wife well. I just had my hospital stay and lost my insurance May 1 after being insured for 25 years.

Ouch. I hope she has a safe surgery (I hesitate to say good, but I hope it’s as pleasant as a surgery can be…) and gets well soon.

Left my windows partially down in the parking lot at work as an act of faith ;)
