Believe it or not, I am still alive! If you guys want to see me review teas more regularly I strongly suggest you go over to my Steepster where I try to review a tea everyday. I have been drinking tea in my absence (who hasn’t?!) and I regret that I haven’t gotten around to reviewing any! I have a post started on Teavivre’s Ripened Pu-erh Touchas and I will get around to finishing it one day!!!!!
In the meantime, here is a playlist I created a while ago that I like to listen to when I sit back and relax with a cup of tea. This is pretty long so you’ll have a long time to sit back with a nice tisane in hand and just close your eyes, sip, and listen!

Enjoy and drink on!
Interesting.
Does this playlist get along with every tea?
I would say that it would go with any nice blend that you find relaxing.
For me, that usually ends up being some sort of tulsi or honeybush mixture. I’m a big fan of Frankie Says Relax by 52teas and I think it’s a nice cup to wind down with. As for honeybush, I’m going to follow on the 52teas train and say that I really enjoy the Coconut Cheesecake Honeybush by MySweetHoneybush.com. I also find a good white tea relaxing in the evening as well. I really like Bai Mu Dan’s and I would have to say that the one I tried from Andrews and Dunham Dam Fine Tea was really tasty. Another favorite of mine is the Darjeeling Avongrove Dj-160 from Camellia Sinensis
Good to see you writing on your blog again. The “relax” pic you posted is nice. Will check out your play list soon. Cup of tea in hand of course!
