My sense of smell and taste is coming back! I must have sniffed half our spice cabinet to confirm it! I’m probably at about 80% of where I was before, but that’s a vast, vast improvement over the 20% I was at when symptoms were at their worst. So this is a joyous day indeed!
I’m celebrating with this sakura leaf that Nazanin at Tea Thoughts included in an order a while ago (she is truly excellent at the art of the bonus item). It tastes just like sakura mochi, minus the sweetness. The flavor is clean and light without being weak or faint. It’s got a slightly savory quality that I rather enjoy, which is stronger on the second steep. The sakura flavor lingers for a while after the sip, too. Just a really enjoyable herbal.

Glad you’ve improved! (I’m feeling sneezy just thinking about the spice cabinet thing ;)
Whew, glad your senses are returning!
Thanks! I have to admit I was a bit worried for a while there – it’s such a vital part of tea enjoyment that I would have had to find another hobby (which, if nothing else, would be a waste of a glorious tea and teaware collection!).
Yay!
