Tea of the afternoon……
Something about a good Earl Grey is just so relaxing. I actually have been working on a big project…. I am trying to learn to play the cello in my 40s. Turns out, I need to relax a little to improve my playing, so this is what I need right now (since a glass of wine is not really going to help with my accuracy!). I love the bright bergamot notes in this tea. It just makes me happy.
Usual teapot method.

learning to play the cello sounds like fun!
That is really awesome that you’re learning to play the cello. Good luck, and I hope you build finger calluses fast. :D
Hope the bergamot notes complement the ones you’re making! (I’m hearing Yo-Yo in my head right now :)
Cool. My son has a CD of a 3 piece cello group playing metal. I can hear you riffing on Smoke On The Water. Probably not what you had in mind but that’s what I picture.
Oh, I would love to learn to play the cello! It has such a lovely timbre. I believe I read once that it has the most complex overtone series of any instrument. It tears my heart out and makes me want to weep, sing, dance…
@KS, it was actually Apocalyptica that sealed the deal. While I love some traditional cello, Metallica on the cello was just wonderful….Look for Nothing Else Matters… :D And my son who plays viola and electric guitar has all ready played Smoke on the Water on mine!
Awesome! When you learn to play enter sandman, or maybe crazy train, let me know!
I love the apocalyptica verson of metallicas song One
Had to look Apocalyptica up on youtube … wow, have you seen this version? (someone mixed them and James’ vocals)

Gave me goosebumps (Metallica is one of my top 3 fave bands).
p.s. Different instrument (violin), but David Garrett does a lot of rock classics too. Maybe check him out (on youtube) when you get a chance.
Oh (gosh I can’t quit, music is first love, lol) … here is one of his:
