I’ve moved into my new place, which is really quite nice and cozy, but I haven’t been able to enjoy much tea due to a nasty cold for the last few days. Yesterday morning I brewed a small cup of the Xiao Zhong and took a deep whiff. Usually the smoky aroma would have knocked me backwards, but this time I only caught the faintest curling hint of it, which shows how much my sense of smell was impaired. The tea was…good? Probably? Anyway, it seemed wasteful to drink up any more of my limited supply while not being able to appreciate it.
On the bright side, I’m feeling much better now, and I ordered some of the new spring teas from Verdant, so I’ll be looking forward to that in the next week or so.
