80

Doggone it, I have a temperature again! 100.4 this afternoon and 100.8 this evening. Life is not fair. Anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell you something. Hmph.

So I decided on a plain sturdy tea this afternoon. I like Dimlah teas. You can’t really go wrong with a plain, straight black tea like this. It’s not a tea of marvelous depth like some of the Whispering Pines teas, but there is something to be said for a workhorse of a daily tea like this. And bagged tea is so darned convenient when you don’t want to fuss.

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
