Becoming a tea drinker nearly crippled me for life!
OK - a bit of an exaggeration ... but ....
Last night I had filled the kettle and plugged it in, then went into another room. The kettle began shrieking (it sounds to me just like a demented loon) and I began to walk rapidly towards the kitchen ... my solidly built 10-pound cat saw me hurrying towards the kitchen & immediately thought "cat treats!" and dashed in front of me! My right foot - in full swing forward - contacted said cat -- the impact stopped me dead in my tracks, the shock wave traveling up my leg into my lower back (did I mention I was hurrying?). Kind of like Wiley Coyote running smack into the doorway painted on the rock. Oh, don't worry, the cat is well padded enough - suffered no injuries. I, however, was on a heating pad all night!
You never warned me about this aspect of tea drinking!
BTW - so far in my explorations of tea:
1. TG Chinese Golden Yunnan is my top pick so far - rich, smooth, full-bodied! A wonderful morning tea.
2. Teavana Cocoa Mint - a wonderful dessert tea. Lightly flavored with chocolate & mint - but you can still taste the tea.
3. TG Amaretto Rooibush - a wonderful after dinner drink - very soothing & smooth.
4. Going to stay away from Adagio flavored teas - too much flavorings overwhelm any tea flavor.
5. TG Darjeeling Steinthal - OK - didn't really get my attention.
