Today I made this wonderful batch of tea that I’ve decided to call Green Barley Whisper.  It’s a marvelous blend of Roasted Barley, Greek Green Mountain, and Dried Cuban Green.  I’ve also added a dash of Mint for a delightful aroma and enjoyable after flavor.

There’s something serene in making something like this, I think.  I’ve spent hours trying to come up with the right mixture.  Some times I feel like a mad scientist, or a crazy alchemist, but now, even as I type this, I am sipping the results as the sky drips on the rooftop of my small apartment.

Breathing in the steaming scents, tasting the layered flavors, I can only smile at the experience.  I am thankful for such perspective.
