I went to bed at 11. I have been awake since 2:30. At 5:30 I gave up trying and got up – sort of. While staring at the ceiling I decided I would start with a Vicony tea. Grabbed this one. Didn’t think about what I was doing and steeped it like 5 minutes. Uhmmm last time I used a 10 second steep. So it is a wee bit strong. Besides being sort of coffee like this is still intensely good. It is a LS but only hints of smoke. Mostly it is everything I love about Chinese black teas – chocolate, honey, malt, sweet potato. This is just the whole package. Last time I had this I steeped it 4 times. Given the length of the first steep today, maybe not as many. A truly excellent tea.
I guess the upside of insomnia is more tea drinking time?
I wish. It never seems to work that way. It just means I will have a headache later this afternoon. Instead of laying in bed worrying about things I cannot do anything about, why don’t I just get up at 2:30 have my cuppa and then go back to bed? Oh yeah, now I think of it.
