Heading off this morning to do my first open water triathlon. A little nervous as I just started swimming about 6 months ago, but it will be fun! I set my breville to have this one ready for my at 5:30am when I woke up. I keep wishing it was more like the fall, but its still good. Good tea to start the day!

Update post race: Thanks everyone! After a crazy morning when my car wouldn’t start and my dad had to rush over to pick me up, I made it there just in time and finished it! The swim was kind of scary actually, but I finished first in my division for the biking portion! The run was more like an incredibly slow jog, but I finished and as far as I’m concerned, that’s all that matters! :-)

I love tea. And I love beer. I spent my twenties thoroughly enjoying all that beer has to offer but now that I’m into my thirties and a stay at home mom of 2 little kids and 1 big kid, I spend more time enjoying tea.

I joined steepster in Feb 2013 and it’s crazy how much my tastes have changed since joining. Before, I liked cream and honey in all teas and loved mostly dessert blacks. Now I almost rarely drink them, but enjoy them from time to time. What I love more than anything are straight rich black teas, Fujian, Laoshan, Rizhao, etc… I also love pretty much any black tea that the little leaf hoppers have gotten their teeth on.

I’m still not too into the green/white/oolong varieties. I keep trying to but my tastes are evolving pretty slowly on that front.

Overall, I just enjoy tea. Something about it that just settles me.
