How to be precise

     kurdish black tea with rose & cardamom from Murî ( rating: 3.6/5)  not usually a fan of astringent black teas but i liked how deep its sapidity still was, righteously balanced with the floral.                                                        Slicing ginger root yesterday urged me to consider why the verb "gingerly" is derived from the plant.

to grow into something unstill.
