Etsy Tea Advent Calendar Day 5

I have never heard of Prince of Peace Tea so I googled it. Okay, some of their teas got decent reviews on Amazon. I brewed it up. It was a tad bitter, so I added a dollop of flavored honey. I was given a ton of those flavored honey sticks. Unfortunately, the labels saying which bundle was which flavor, so I am guessing it was cherry. Kinda tastes like cough syrup. The honey, not the tea. I think a plain honey or even sugar would have been a better choice. The honey overwhelmed the tea. As it cooled I found myself enjoying it more. If I were to ever have it again I would cut back on the sweetener and drink it after it cools for a few minutes. I am giving this one a cautious recommendation because I did enjoy the second half of it.

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.
