drank Sweet & Spicy - Caffeine Free by Good Earth
776 tasting notes

I bought a new box of this. This is one of those yummy comfort teas that always hits the spot with me. It is sweet and spicy just like the name says. Like drinking liquid red hots candies. It was cold, windy, and rainy last night so this is what I craved. I really enjoy it!

I have unfortunately developed a side effect from my long radiation called Radiation Pneumonitis. It’s not bad. People don’t generally die of it. It’s like having pneumonia. Deep breaths are painful, low fever, fatigue, cough, etc. Not pleasant, but what a marvelous excuse to relax and knit and drink tea! I should be over it in a week or two. I have a short course of prednisone to help deal with it.

Bio

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.
