Tea and Stress

A bit after my last post, last Tuesday, there was a fire at my building. Dispite everything I have been pulling through quite well. I technically have no home and yet I am fine with all this. What has been keeping me going has been strangely Teaopia, or rather tea itself. Dispite what happens I know I can go to work Monday to Friday and have a warm comforting cup of tea. Black, green, white, oolong, tisstanes, Mate or Rooibos.
Does not matter which I turn to total relaxation comes with it. I have read a lot about tea over the last while. Each stating that it does something good or something bad. Health benefits or downsides. Etc etc.
I believe that if I did not have tea on hand I would fall apart. Does anyone feel the same out there?

Tea and emotions

This morning I felt awfuly naucious and , to put it bluntly, alone. My relationship with the one person I want to be with is rocky, sometime it will stop and be smooth sailing again. Though, while siping a cup of White Bai Hao this morning I realized how much true love is like finding your favorite tea.
When I first develed into loose leaf my first true love of tea came from a high roasted (low grade) Tie Kuwan Yin. Since then I have looked for different ones as each can tell me a story about the tea itself. Anyhow, with out that tea I would not be the person I am today. Same goes with my relationship. If I had to go with out Tie Kuwan Yin, I would perhaps give up tea all together. And vice versa.

Just a quick thought is all. I am off to work. Got new Teamasters in, look forward to a review <3

Water test

I have been meaning to try a water test for quite some time now and finnaly got around to do it. Anyhow, in the end after my test I found spring water did not have any sort of forgin taste behind it. It's quite interesting as this is the first time trying this Metro brand of spring water for my tea. Much cheeper than the one brand I was useing before. Some time soon I will try a few different spring water brans and find one that fits right.

Cold

Brita: slight iron taste
Spring:clean.
tap:Copper


Hot

Britta: Mineral like taste.
Spring: warming Qi., Stange feeling in the throat.
Tap: Stange undesirable taste on the tounge. perhaps the copper. Makes me want to vomit.
