I’m sitting here, surrounded by tea!
Not a problem!
I’m still savoring that last steeping of the Imperial Breakfast blend as I start eating my breakfast.
Yeah, I know, it’s almost noon….shhh Sil…I heard you laughing all the way from St. Louis!
I also have a cup of homemade Kombucha that I’ll be sipping with my breakfast. I’ve been making it with Zhu Rong lately, and it’s pretty f#@&ing awesome!
AND a pot, the FINAL sip down pot actually, of Khongea golden tippy Assam, which should really go good with my robust breakfast, and kick my butt into gear so that maybe I’ll accomplish a few things today (oh, the difficulties of being a self-employed musician).
I really DO need to get some things done, as I’ve been on a reading binge for the last couple of weeks, and once again I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t read books without going off the deep end, getting very little sleep, and being a true addict.
This ends today!
…after I finish the book I’m on….
This is You :-D
Profile
Bio
I’m so excited to have found this community! I’m a self-employed Harpist (acoustic & electric – Originals, Classical, Rock, Jazz, etc) & Singer/Songwriter. My days & nights revolve around teaching at home, playing gigs, gardening,& fixing awesome food to eat. My schedule is different everyday, but I just go with the flow, & I sip a lot of tea!
My love of Tea began with Herbals back in the 70’s. One of my favorites was a licorice blend from House of Hezekiah, an old tea shop in Kansas City. There was also a tea with mint, rose petals, chamomile, etc called Nuclear Casual Tea.
In the 80’s I gave up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, (& a few illicit substances…), and brewed medicinal blends & tinctures to support 4 pregnancies (all children born at home). In the 90’s my love affair with green teas began when I discovered ‘The Republic of Tea’. Their beautiful teas & packaging inspired my original song, “TeaMind”, from my CD “Zen Breakfast”. If you’d like to hear the song for free, drop by my website.
In general, I drink my teas straight, but occasionally I add a pinch of Stevia & maybe some coconut or almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy, gluten, & various other things & avoid most sweets.)
I’ve explored a variety of teas:
Whites tend to be a little bland…sorry
Oolongs – wonderfully sensual
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything once.
And Black Tea, Oh how I love thee!!
I am on a quest for the most wonderful breakfast cup! I will find you, my Love!
