Mmm. I need to look up a miso soup recipe. I know I have one somewhere.

We buy lots of green tea. A visiting scientist from Japan was so excited Anna had kukicha. She didn't expect to find any here.

We found some kukicha in Santa Fe, NM, about a decade ago. Tiny tea shop in the old town area. Not sure if it's still there post-COVID. 🫤

Numi has kukicha, hojicha (which is what I actually meant above), and yuzu bancha.

Hey it only has 6% ginger extract. All you can taste is the citrus and honey. Plus it has orange pieces which I love so you get nutrients fron the peel.

Thanks. I should have been more specific the assignment was to write something I would never write. Which is hard because I don't feel bound to one genre...

Lol....Well, glad I inspired!

And you'll get due blame -- I mean credit -- when I write them.

"Luxury sports car with country truck romance" - where do you think the Tesla Truck came from?

Hey my amazing niece. I love your blog. I am also a die hard tea lover. My favorite tea is a Honey citron & ginger tea. I love Balance grow. It's great hot or cold. I love it because it has an amazing taste, also because of the immunity properties of orange, ginger, and honey. I drink it daily. In summer I drink it cold. But in the wintertime I drink it hot. It gives me that hot soothing feeling I love that tea is so known for. Also when I get that feeling of something viral going on I sip it all day to soothe my throat, open sinuses and if I'm nauseous the ginger settles everything down. You can find it on Amazon but it's too expensive. I get mine from Costco for about $10 for 70 oz. That lasts me about 2 months.

Love you so much! Blessings

We mostly buy Numi Tea, which is pricy. I will have to look up your suggestion. How much ginger does it have? I am not a big fan of ginger until less it was very mild background flavor.
