Back to having tea

I've taken a bit of a break from drinking hot tea, or at least, not as much as I was before...so I'm back in the habit...

This morning I'm having English Breakfast from Adagio. Once again, it's strong like coffee, but not as rich. I was talking to a friend of mine about how strong it is, and she asked if I put milk in it. No, I don't put milk in it. I'm a tea "purist"...uh-huh, right. I don't usually care about the health benefits of drinking tea, I just like it. Yet, I'm reacting almost superstitiously about not putting milk in my tea. Go figure. Maybe I should get over it an try it with milk.

And it's mother's day...It would have been nice to take my mom to tea. Hmmm...maybe I can this Friday. That might be fun.

Sigh. I'm running almost completely out of tea. I may buy the Twinings Earl Grey loose leaf just to get me by until I decide on the Adagio varieties I want next. I may also buy their English Breakfast, just to see if it's any different from the variety that they sell in tea bags. It's at the grocery store, which is something. It's the only loose leaf that's there. I'm still leary of going to Teavana because of the expense...on the other hand, there's a few tea rooms in the area that may have some loose leaf...I'll have to try those. Saturday maybe I'll go out see what I can find.

Today I had just the ceylon sonata...a bit strong, though. I knew it when I was making it that it would be strong...I wish I could resolve the many trips to the bathroom after drinking two and a half cups of tea in the morning...
