My morning started off on a down-note. I called up a tea company, following up on a resume I submitted. Unfortunately, it wasn’t news I wanted to hear. And…that put me in a foul mood. The type of mood that only alcohol would cure.
Well, it was only 10AM, so that would’ve looked a little – um – sad. So, I went with something moderately fermented, but far less damaging. A young sheng pu-erh. This was a loose sample I received back in January, but was just now getting to a write-up on.
As a lot of young sheng pus go, it’s very youthful in its flavor presentation – a lot like a green tea but without the bitterness that comes with it. That and it holds up to boiling water well. No vegetal kick. It was all fruit, earth and flowers. Oh, and youth.
A good way to start the day and kick away job-related doldrums.

aw, sorry about your rough morning. wishing you luck with future pursuits.
begining the day with bad news is rough. So if one day you would still need “alcohol” in your tea I recommend Jamaïque from Mariage Frères :)
@IFJuly – Luck is appreciated. Looking ahead.
@Ysaurella – I’m guessing that’s a hibiscus blend. Sounds like it would go great with Campari.
