April Sipdown Prompt – a tea that reminds you of a garden
The last time I drank this I was frustrated about a construction project. Today the first stage of that project is nearly done. I enjoyed sitting on the bench on the front porch (a bench Ashman made using the metal ends I found thrown out by the road because the boards had rotted) sipping this tea yesterday.
Just a few feet from the bench is a lilac bush in full bloom, and the heady aroma has had me craving violet candies, lilac candles, and now – liquid flowers.
If you don’t like floral tea, you are going to hate this one. But if you enjoy floral tea, you just might fall in love with it. Even with all the floral notes, the green oolong base still shines through. So lovely. I don’t want to finish it, but I hope I have learned my lesson about hoarding things until they fade so I intend to enjoy it every time I want it.

Mmmmm! Lately I’ve been coming around to floral candies in ways I couldn’t have dreamed of back in the days of the great Evening in Missoula debacle. And from Dammann Freres? Sold.
I have trouble NOT eating the entire pack of Violet candies once I open it. This tea and the jam made from it are such a treat.
