My loose leaf literally looks like cut dried blades of grass. It is a seaweed colour and it even smells grassy. The steeped tea leaves open up from those blades of grass to reveal that they are in fact pieces of dried leaves. The tea in my cup is a pale yellowish-green and has a… Continue reading A grassy theme for the mouth

If we were having tea…
The loose leaf has a very earthy look to it. The dominant colour is tan with tiny grass looking pieces and three colours of peppercorns: pale white, berry red, and burnt brown. The loose leaf has a grass, ginger, and pepper smell. The steeped tea has made the water in my mug a yellowy orangish-brown… Continue reading If we were having tea…

Letโs try tea.
If we were having coffee tea, I would share with you that I had mentioned to our coffee share friend, Gary, when the snows where still fresh on the ground that I was going to try tea for a few coffee shares. So here we are. The loose leaf is a blend of browns: sandy… Continue reading Letโs try tea.

I miss coffee dates at the coffee shop
The cafรฉ isnโt frightfully busy. It is just busy enough that there is a soft hum of conversation around me that mixes with the faint sound of music. The smell of coffee is the dominant note in the air and it is welcoming. There is no sense of urgency in this environment: sit, sip, and… Continue reading I miss coffee dates at the coffee shop

Feet up on the dashboard with my butt nestled into the passengerโs seat. The sun is low in the sky with the promise of a warm sunny day. The radio can just be heard over the sound of the tires on the pavement and the wind outside my window. The smell of strong coffee, truck… Continue reading Another favourite place to drink my coffee

Dear cup of coffeeโฆ
This morning I say: Hello Chestnut Prailine Latte. You are the perfect blend of sweet nuttiness. You flow over my taste buds smooth and creamy. You fade out with hints of maple, or maybe brown sugar, and a pronounced roasted nut flavour. Thank you, coffee. The only thing that could be better in this moment… Continue reading Dear cup of coffeeโฆ

Shadows and steam: Coffee 7๏ฟผ
The house sits dark around me this morning. I make my coffee by candle light as I try to preserve these few stolen moments for myself. I creep across the room, coffee in hand, to sit on my sofa. I set my coffee on the coffee table close to the candle and settle myself on… Continue reading Shadows and steam: Coffee 7๏ฟผ
