Looking for tea.

.

.

Things in the basket, will be reviewed later.  Some things were just not right, too expensive, with carbs, or... with other problems.  Some things are a maybe.  Though, really, I'm in no rush.  I get, or used to get, a better tea catalogue.  I'll wait a while for it, and... if one doesn't arrive, go looking for the company.

Not... anything... exactly right.  I found hibiscus, in raw form, give or take.  It wouldn't make a good tea, with my wants, by itself.  But, in a reasonable oolong, or white tea?  It might really do well.  Not sure it would do well with black or green tea, really.  Though, with other aromatic florals and herbals?  Trying to avoid fruits, even flavoring.  That probably means it has sugars in it.

I haven't found a good floral or herbal mix, on it's own, either.  But that would be quite good.  Then add it to a better white or oolong.  In my humble opinion, those teas would lend to a caffeine base and mixing properties I am almost sure I would like best.  Green, maybe, in time.  A milder, or first flush, variety, if I go green.  Black?  Black tea, like heavier coffees, just... hits me wrong.  Sure, I drink dark roasts, right to espresso?  Right, but those have less caffeine.  It's... not as it seems.  And, sometimes, I have to back from coffee for a while.  It just... can get to me.

As well, looking for clear teapots, that can go on flattop glasstop stoves.  And, with diffusers, removable.  Several sizes... for that quick and dirty... or for a tea I can sip through much of the day.  Yes, yes, it's how I do... how I do almost everything.  A bit of variability built in, allowances for mood, need, want.  But, it's one and done.  I don't have to keep buying.

There is something... interesting... about "drinking" flowers, and certain herbs.  It does relax.  And... brings women to mind.  At this point, I can't afford women.  But I can afford to contemplate them.  So... floral teas.  Herbals.  Crazy little pole climbers.  :p

I'm thinking about another piece of chicken, a fatted coffee, a touch of coleslaw, then looking for the tea company I have purveyed for some time, or... maybe on to bed?  Feeling better, mostly.  Still a little heat, down under there, for the pain.  But natural painkillers have hit their stride to a degree, and this time, assisted by a few otc painpills.  Things are getting... foggy, at the edges.  Cloudy, billowy, soft, strange...  Natural painkillers are pretty potent.  I just didn't hurt enough, this time, for them to kick in fully.  Or, I took extra just in case.  May have overshot just a wee.

Later or goodnight.
