Kamyria drank Dragonwell by DAVIDsTEA

125 tasting notes

Ok, I’m feeling better… much better today than yesterday actually so we’re on a good track. Still didn’t get full night of sleep though. For the last 3 nights I’ve been tossing and turning, dreaming same recurring dreams almost like I’m part of some horror flick.

Last night I was dreaming about tea…. O.o I was dreaming about puer.. the sheng and the shu. Then I remember somebody telling me in my dream that green tea would be the best for cold, therefore sheng would be better than shu for the cold/flu. Then I woke up with a question on my mind… What is the best tea for the flu. So here I am in the middle of the night with my cell phone, typing in “the best tea for the cold flu” with only one eye open. The answer was green tea (because of the highest amount of catechins) and I turned my cell phone off, realizing at the same time that I’ve blinded myself in one eye.

I still can’t believe I did that.

Fast forward to this morning… I’ve cracked open a brand new bag of my beloved Dragonwell. Aaahhh… smells so good. I steeped a cup for myself and my little girl who I can hear is coughing up her lungs in another room.

The tea is fragrant, vegetal, buttery and delicious. It’s hot and feels so soothing. Yum!

Bio

It’s been a while since I joined Steepster and I think it’s time to write up a bio.

I’m a stay at home, married mom with 5 kids, most of them grown up. Only one remains with us now, my 7 year old sunshine which I push out of the house to school every morning and it’s not an easy thing to do.

I’m an avid gardener during a growing season and my goal is to grow most of the food we eat and save some for winter too. I’m also an artist and a huge nerd. I read books, I play computer games. My very first game was World of Warcraft (was addicted to it solid for a year, lol), then came Skyrim, Minecraft (with my 7 year old) and few others less memorable along the way.

I began drinking tea on regular basis just over 2 years ago when I decided to kick my morning coffee habit. It wasn’t pretty… I couldn’t function for 3 days straight but survived. A year ago I discovered loose tea and found Steepster… The rest is history.

Some of the staples in my cupboard are Dragonwell green tea, Japanese sencha, Silver Needle white tea, green roobois, darjeeling and pu’erh. I also drink variety of flavored teas for fun and I like to order tisanes and mix them with straight teas for even more variety.

Recently I found out how much I love oolong so will be stocking up on that as well.

There are few other tea lovers in my family: my mom and dad, my oldest daughter, my son and my youngest 7 year old. She loves when I try out different teas and I always have to remember to make enough for her to have a little taste.
