Tea of the morning here. I notice I am sleeping a bit better through the night. Yesterday I was trying to prop myself up with various pillows and notice I am more comfortable with my teddy bear propping my elbow up, lol. I’m sure it looks quite silly. ;-)

So I finally decided I like this one, 3 minutes is plenty of steeping time for it. Yes it has a bold malt note with chocolate and I do think “stout” is an appropriate adjective. I’m not altogether crazy about the finishing note which is a bit too brisk and winey for me, but it is tempered a lot with soymilk and a pinch of sugar.

Probably not a replacement for the resident assam, which I no longer have, but I’ve enjoyed the sample.

What did the doctor say?

He said I probably have tendonitis as well as excessive scar tissue from my injury. He wants me to try and work through it with PT in the next month. I may need to get a cortisone shot to keep from developing a frozen shoulder. Good times. :-P

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around
