Today I cleaned out my tea drawer! I decided I just had to get it better organized. In the first half of November I attended a bridal shower/tea party. I used up quite a bit of tea for that, plus gave some away to those who really liked a tea. So I didn’t know what I still had. I found several little sample sized pouches with only a Tablespoon left. My goal for the year is to sip those down. One of those was this tea. When the tea from David’s advent calendar for today was Jumpy Money, I decided to finish this one off instead. Nothing wrong with Jumpy Monkey, but I’m drinking tea right before bed, so I decided to skip that one for now.

This tea is about a year old, but it still tastes good. Mild and faintly minty. A very nice evening cup!

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
