Today it’s one of the colder days… so that’s here 20 degrees centigrade, which is highly pleasant, all night rain; so fresh air all day… and it was raining even during the day, but not when I was coming “home” from work. But this week started and will be stressful, so I am actually glad that it’s not sweating hot too.
I decided for this tea today (again from their Joy of Tea line), as I think that not many, if any, colder days will be in the remaining month. Sachet was 4.3 grams.
When I opened the covering sachet, I was struck by allspice, but there is none by the ingredients. Hmm. It’s that fennel with anise then?
Flavourwise, the base is a bit thin, and from spice it’s mostly black pepper and hints of ginger. The ginger is quite muted and not fiery; followed with sweet cinnamon and herbals. The herbs are making not so good aftertaste, which is also very drying. Pairing with chocolate thins filled with salted caramel was a good idea; I just hope I won’t finish a whole box in one sitting.

That 20C sounds like bliss! We have had a similar break in the heat but especially in the humidity. After no rain for quite a while and 93% humidity in the mornings ruining the “cooler” part of the day, today started out overcast, cool, and with much lower humidity. I was able to have breakfast and lunch outside for the first time in a couple of weeks. The sun has come out now but there is still a breeze so it feels pretty pleasant.
