There is easy low hanging fruit here, especially about the US and salty tea. And I'm so SO tempted.

But also I'm super in to tea and I'm bored.

The perfect cup of tea is how you want to drink it, and if you do not LIKE tea then drinking it a different way, or a different kind of tea, vastly changes it.

A pinch of salt makes things less bitter, this trick also works with coffee. But other things that affect taste are tempriture, length of time it brews, where the tea was grown, the climate, the soil, and how big the leaves are. Some of the cheapest tea has little more than dust in the tea bag while more expensive teas you will notice have more structure to the leaves.

Tea brewed in colder tempeitures needs longer and creates a different taste. It may require more tea to get the specific flavour you want, and generally it is less bitter for it. Similar thing to spices where if you cook them, use them hot, toast them first, etc, you get a different set of flavours to using them cold.

Like wine, tea can have lots of flavour profiles and colours. Assam for example is very dark, malty, and strong, it can get quite bitter. Ceylon is much lighter. Darjeeling is good with lemon, but Assam is better with milk, in my humble opinion. Lapsang Sushong is very smokey. Earl Grey

Most people will drink a mix. English breakfast is usually a mix of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan. Earl Grey is flavoured with bergamot.

White, green, and black tea all come from the same plant, just different parts of it, treated differently. Black tea can take a higher tempriture, but boiling water on green and white tea will scorch the leaves and make it very bitter. Agitating the tea can also have this effect as it releases more tannin.

As a general rule there is a tea for everyone, and a way to drink it that you will enjoy, whether that's hot, cold, mixing it with spices, flavourings, fruit, milk, sugar, lemon, and yes, even a pinch of salt.

I would not, however, recommend tea that has been in the Boston harbour.

I want to do this at the new year and see what I can take people up on.

• ask your friends to teach you something new •

if you follow me, you may know that have been making a real effort to actively engage in my own existence - to recognize and do away with the things in my life that do not matter, to work harder, to have higher standards when it comes to the company I keep and what sort of treatment I am going to put up with (see my post Notes to Self). it has been a battle against myself, social media, and my unwillingness to face the feelings that the internet distracts me from, but one I ultimately believe I will win.

I’ve decided that instead of leaving social media completely, I’m going to use it to further my connection with people and hope that it catches on (we’ll see). I asked my facebook friends “what is a skill that you can teach me?” expecting a few jokes and maybe one real reply.

all these people came out of the woodwork; folks I met once or twice and friends I’ve known for years, excitedly offering to teach me skills I did not know they had because I never thought to ask. mending, scrapbooking, dance, CPR, organization techniques, canning, wedding planning, dyeing and spinning wool.

ask your friends what they can teach you.

if, like me, you yearn for connection beyond just shopping trips and movie nights and going out for drinks, just ask. you get to learn (which is knowing), your friend gets to teach (which is sharing), and a real conversation is so valuable.

a friend and I met at her house for a meal and a mending lesson a few weeks ago. we ate together and caught up on lost time while she showed me how to repair the torn sweater I brought from home. there was so much peace - sitting on the living room floor with her and laughing at my crooked stitches. I’ve since mended a pair of my husband’s pants, patched a hole in my dad’s jacket, and gave my dress some stronger buttons.

a crooked stitch still strengthens the cloth. I am that much closer to needing less.

what could you teach me?
