Woot! Finally got my Whispering Pines order (darn borders…) So this of course is the first tea I tried. Dammit though, I oversteeped it while watching Person of Interest. Bah!

Regardless, this smells so strongly of chocolate out of the bag I looked around to see if I’d left some chocolate out accidentally. Nope, it’s from the tea! Amazing. Steeped (for 11 minutes, bah!) it’s still very chocolately with zero astringency, although I can still tell it would be much more delicate, light, yet full and rich had I done this justice. It smells amazing still even as it sits here, and I hope the scent floats out throughout the house.

Flavors: Chocolate

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML
Marzipan

I want to go back and watch Person of Interest from the beginning (I hate starting a series mid stream). Do you like it a lot?

Oh man, this sounds SO good.

Person of Interest is one of my favorite shows, however I am biased; the showrunner is the (lesser known) brother who co-wrote both Memento, and had a part with the production of Inception as well. I see it as a television version of that style of film, and then when they added a female lead that just happens to be one of my favorite actresses, I was overjoyed. It’s really solid writing, and they’ve thought through the very complex storyline five years through… it shows.

Hmmm maybe I should give it another shot lol I watched the first season and just found it too repetitive

Woohoo Person of Interest! Possibly my favorite show on television. LOVE Jonathan Nolan too, MissB! Killer writing… I love dramatic shows that still have lighthearted moments occasionally and lots of witty one-liners. And yes, the storyline is awesome and has never felt tired (side note: omg ends of seasons are so stressful!).

I personally love the “number-of-the-week” format (with larger storylines interwoven) but I suppose it’s not for everyone. :)

Hmm… I’m looking for a new series, I might have to check it out. I just recently finished Fringe and hate that it’s over! It was so hard to watch the final episode!

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
