Yes, I know I have a bundle of new teas, Advent and otherwise, to sample. This weekend, I also knew that I needed something I could abuse while trying to squeeze more tasks into a Saturday that any sane person knows to attempt.

A pot of this stayed viable nearly all morning and afternoon, which is surprising for a black/green tea blend. The green tea added a little crispness without being bitter, even at a steeping temp just off boiling. A little jasmine in there, too, I believe, which minded its manners and did not pretend it was Chanel No. 5. Looks like it is long gone and discontinued … anybody recommend a good substitute?

I hope you succeeded in getting everything done!

If you want a great jasmine tea, I love most of them from Teavivre.
