Girl Scouts were set up in the train station with Girl Scout cookies! Horray! I picked out a box of Peanut butter ones and could not wait until I was finally done class at 9pm to get home, make a nice pot of Vanilla Comoro, and RELAX! The vanilla and caramel were lovely with the cookies! I felt very happy to have some true tea flavor plus Sleeping Ability :)
I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.
I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.
My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes

I have already downed a box of those peanut butter cookies! They are yummy. I love the thin mints too.
