Happy New Year! Chin up, eyes forward, and on we go!

First cup of the new year was new to me—another entry from Atlas Tea Club: Sunstone Black. As always, I’m a little leery when the leaf recommendation is huge—in this case, per the packet, 5 teaspoons to a 12 ounce pot. I have mugs that size and there wasn’t quite that much in the hand me down, so I dumped it all and plunged in.

As expected, it was heavy and smooth, but strong. Lots of stonefruit, a little honey vibe, but no cocoa as advertised. There’s enough left in the mug to reheat with a little milk. We’ll see if that mixes things up.

Your New Year started 7 hours before ours. Does that mean you’re 7 hours older than me? ;)

I am just 7 hours ahead in time. 2026 is doing well so far.
