Oh no. It’s starting. That horror of horrors, that unbearable ordeal. The dawn of my pain and suffering.
Summer is here.
Today is 100 degrees. Tomorrow will be anywhere from 106 to 108.
Cue the deep sigh.
You’d think I’d be used to this, I grew up here and have lived most of my life with this sort of weather, and yet every year it catches me off guard. It was also such a mild spring! Whhhhhyyyyy?
This means tea drinking becomes a more extreme sport. Grumble.
I am always a fan of a fruity black tea blend, but it’s going to be extra in the summer months. Has anyone tried anything fruity and delicious I should check out?

We are beginning to talk about finding somewhere with better summers when retirement comes. We have already had some 90+ days with high humidity, although a rare cool spell is upon us right now. But where to go? I don’t want snow and long winters, I don’t want long, sticky super hot summers. Thankful for air conditioning!
Y’all come this direction! It was a damp, bone-chilling 52 yesterday :) I have not yet tried it because I don’t have the self-control to let it get cold before drinking it, but I have been effervescing over some Basilur Tangerine loose leaf my menfolk got me for Mother’s Day. Tangerine and vanilla. I’m thinking that on ice, it’ll taste like a creamsicle.
I love that my note mentioning the cold weather is directly after your note. It was like 55 degrees here today.
It’s not black, it’s green but one of my fruity favorites is Teakruthi’s Ceylon Emerald.
And here I am sitting while outside is around 10-16°C today and overcast. It should go higher son though and sunnier.
