Falling snow

on my lips

taste of clear

air

fading before

I understand.

Tea Review - Korean Green Wedding Tea (Osulloc)

Image
While attending the 2019 World Tea Expo in Las Vegas, I suddenly had a thought: to learn as much as I could about the Korean Tea Culture. Now, seeing as how I am a lover of world cultures, this  thought did not surprise me too much. However, I will freely admit that I knew next to nothing about Korean Tea Culture, except for what I learned through the World Tea Academy. Thankfully, I have several books on that subject! In starting my self education of all things Korean Tea, I recently tried the Blended Green Wedding Tea from Osulloc - Tea From Jeju since 1979 and WOW. I never knew I could actually taste a wedding in April. As soon as I opened the bag, I felt absolutely feminine. A woman, dressed in special clothing, ready to join her life with the man she loves. The scent of the blended green tea had me swooning and I was more than ready to brew it. First Slurp: The first taste of this tea was simply - delicate, lacy, feminine, flowery, grassy, and honeysuckle swe...

Four Years - WARNING of lots of cussing in this post.

Image
Today marks my four year anniversary of moving to Colorado. For many years, I was riddled with doubts and anxiety, combined with a desire to people please, a desire to chase after people and things, and an allowance to be led around by the nose by people who honestly weren't good for me. The shift began in New Orleans, the city that I thought would become my forever home. Turns out I was wrong; it was the place where I would die. Not literally, of course, but metaphorically. I looked around and suddenly, I woke up. I realized that I had been living a lie just to appease others who didn't give two shits about me. I was running on empty and I seemed to like it. I did whatever others told me to do, mostly because I didn't have the balls to say FUCK NO. I told myself - that's enough - and then the true path began. Or rather, the new and improved part of my path began. I removed people from my life. I stopped bad habits. I asked myself - what do I really want? What do I rea...

Tea Review: Colonial Bohea Pekoe Black Tea - Oliver Pluff and Company

Image
Happy Friday to all! Today, I decided to return to a tea that makes me quite giddy - Colonial Bohea (pronounced Boo-Hee) Pekoe Black Tea from Oliver Pluff and Company !  Every so often, I do enjoy a nice smoky tea ( Hu-Kwa from Mark T. Wendell Tea Company is my all time favourite) and I love telling people about lapsang souchong and how it can scent up half of your house when brewing it! The Colonial Bohea, although a black tea, is quite smooth on my stomach in the morning; in fact, I had three cups of it while taking my French Revolution course this morning! Vive le France! First Slurp: Like I said, this tea is quite smooth on my stomach. The First Slurp had a creamy smoky feel to it, with an undertone of earthy. You can add cream and/or sugar to this Tea, but quite honestly it doesn't need anything extra. You can enjoy this Tea all by itself. It's quite cold here in Memphis, so the Colonial Bohea is a good "stay indoors and watch movies or be creative" Tea....
