Second breakfast – Homemade Skyr Yogurt with strawberries and brown sugar

I am shocked I haven’t made a note on this one yet! I also have Happy Dreams but it is nearly gone and will be a sipdown soon.

The dry leaf had more cucumber aroma than I remember! Perhaps it is good I was having tea alone because Ashman does not care for cucumber. The flavor is not strongly cucumber, though. This is light and refreshing, a bright tasting tea without being a sharp green. The lemongrass and fruity flavors don’t bury the taste of the base tea. I do think I could have chosen a better pairing for strawberries, but that is on me, not the tea. They were just similar, and I like to either match really well or contrast, and I usually choose a contrast for great counterpoint. (I hope that is a good way to describe 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…
