drank Orange Pomander by Lupicia
3405 tasting notes

I tried this hot and found the added flavors to be quite mild.

I tried it as a sweet iced tea and after a day in the fridge I can safely say that if I didn’t know this has added flavors I wouldn’t know this has added flavors. It tastes like an okay, slightly weak and slightly brisk (because it is Darjeeling) tea.

Since it doesn’t have any really special flavor hot, I will make big pitchers of iced sweet tea to use the rest. It will go down fast and easy.

LEGO ALERT Check out set 10315 that will be released in August! It is in the Japanese Garden line and includes a teahouse with tiny matcha ceremony accessories!

Oh, you evil thing, you. Someone at my house spends all his allowance on fancy-pants grownup Legos. (We have the bonsai tree and dried floral bouquet on the quilt safe.)

gmathis: A student of mine was turning 13 and lamented to me that he was not happy to be growing up because Christmas would not be exciting anymore and he wouldn’t be able to play with Legos. I proceeded to tell him which Lego sets my very much grown up son and son-in-law were getting for Christmas. His mom called me later to tell me how happy I had made her son!

My son has a dedicated Lego room and around Thanksgiving his Lego Christmas village takes over the great room. His Lego room is wall to wall builds and he has i credible storage and organisation. Ha ha!

This is the first set that has ever tempted me….I think your quilt safe really, really needs this set. The bonsai tree and floral bouquet are just crying out for it.

Part of “my” Mother’s Day was the long-stemmed garden bouquet, with the condition that I build it myself. It’s been my weekend wind-down one flower at a time. (Well, maybe not a wind-down since I’m not architecturally minded, but it definitely fires up synapses in a different area of the brain.)

How neat! I own zero Lego – I just buy them for the guys for gifts. But I am really tempted by this one and I am trying to decide where I could put it…

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
