This one remains one of my all time fave black teas. I had my flu, pneumonia and Covid vaccines yesterday and I felt just fine until around 3 pm. Then, I was struck by a headache, sore throat and general malaise. It’s mild but definitely there. I had to work late so I decided to make a cup of this.

Man, I forgot how smooth and rich it is! So delicious. I see Whispering Pines has the Imperial North Winds on sale right now. I am really tempted to grab a couple of ounces of it to see how it compares to this one. I still have about an ounce left. But that won’t last long.

Hope the vaccine side effects fade quickly!

Oh, hope you’re feeling better already. Smooth and rich are adjectives I like to see applied to black tea. Gonna have to try this one. =)

You’re brave to try all three shots at once!

Went ahead and ordered a few ounces of Imperial North Winds. Can’t wait to try it! On the vaccine front, I am over it. And I’m not sure I’d call myself ‘brave’ for getting all of the mat once. I thought it was convenient, also known as stupid. ;).

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.
