Today was just full of mistakes, it seemed as soon as I filled the pot up with hot water, the phone would ring, or someone would distract me, and then I'd remember I had my tea steeping several minutes later...
But it all turned out well in the end.
I said "rarely" for several reasons. First of all, I tend to mostly choose teas that are not too easy to screw up... and then my palate is not too sensitive to minor variations, so it takes a significant screw-up for me to consider a tea ruined... add to that the fact that I have gotten much more careful about my brewing over these last months, and that I tend to be a conservative brewer regarding time and temperature... which means I rarely walk away from my tea while it is brewing. I generally go heavy on leaf, lighter on temp and time... no matter what kind of leaf I'm using... so there's no time to walk away and get distracted.
I've had a good tea day... matcha early this morning... then Keemun Rhapsody because I woke up craving black tea, and it was delish... jasmine #5 at work, iced, because my office nurse is preggers and craves it constantly, so I make us a pitcher nearly every day.. came home and had an Adagio order of one of my signature blends (Twilight - Alice's Vision), so I had some hot and then some iced... very interesting for a flavored tea (coconut, alittle Valentines, a tiny bit of cinnamon), so that was fun and yummy.
And then I got a call at 10pm, just as I was ready to go to bed... lady in labor, HURRY HURRY!!!!
I arrived at 10:10pm (luckily I live very close), and the baby came at 10:16 pm... boy, 5lb 14 oz. I was home by 11:30pm... the paperwork took longer than the labor.
Happy Tea Day to everyone, and I hope everyone had as much great tea as I did today.

What an Evening you had! So, did you have a cup of tea when you came home???Nahhh, I was having enough trouble unwinding for sleep, so I skipped the late-night cup. I'll make up for it this morning. 
***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

Thanks! I'm feeling better today so I'm pretty sure it was just the medication I took. Thankfully the weather is warming up so hopefully I'm done with illnesses until next winter!Smari wrote:Yikes, hope you don't get sick again. Get better!auggy wrote:No tea this morning. Not feeling good.
Finally got some tea last night and it didn't help.Pentox wrote:Well maybe some tea would help flush it out of your system!
But it didn't hurt either and it tasted good so ultimately a net positive.
