drank Winter Tea by Basilur
2922 tasting notes

I forgot how nice this one smells in the cup. A decent black base with fruity cranberry-sauce notes. (Flashback to a glop in a little paper service cup in the school cafeteria. I loved to spread it on the cafeteria ladies’ homemade hot rolls, back when they really cooked, and didn’t just throw reheated stuff on the tray.)

I am now thinking about buying a box to the work. I know it’s available here and in the cold mornings it seems like a better idea than oolong and/or green tea I have there now. But I brought those two to finish them down.

Sounds yummy, I’m on the lookout for a nice cranberry tea.

Evol Ving Ness

Yeah, me too. Now that I’ve shaken up the tin of Boston, it seems more promising. That said, I haven’t been brave enough to try it since my first effort.

Basilur usually has a booth at our tea festival with gazillions of their teas and lovely people staffing things. I miss having that to look forward to.

Evol Ving Ness

Damn, just checked their local website and they temporarily shuttered due to COVId till further notice.

Martin Bednář

Evol Ving Ness and others… if you are interested in, I can order it from Czech distributor and resend across the pond.

Available 100 g loose leaf in tin, paper box, 15 pyramid sachets in a paper box, 20 tea bags in paper box. Of course, I can get other teas not only from Basilur :)

tea-sipper

mmm.. cranberry sauce spread on rolls… never thought of that before.

Applesauce, too … Mom’s Jonathan applesauce on homemade bread and butter while it’s still warm from the oven … (When I did that on school bread, the other kids thought it was weird.)

tea-sipper

oh another good idea!

ashmanra

Never thought of applesauce on bread, but I am a fan of apple butter!

Evol Ving Ness

Fresh homemade bread alone is an excellent start! I’m in for the rest as well.

Martin, thank you for your truly kind and generous offer, but I find myself shuffling teas from place to place (and I am well behind on all sorts of things). I need to get very busy drinking before I commit to more. I do very much appreciate your offer though.

Found it cheap at Vitacost and I can always find things to order there! Hint: put things in your cart and exit and you will get a coupon in your email within a day! Also buying several stocking stuffers like bath bombs and hard to find beauty products, so win-win.

Martin Bednář

Evol Ving Ness: It’s okay! If you change your mind, I am able to send you a link anytime.

ashmanra

Oops, this is not what I found at Vitacost. I found Winter Spice by Twinings. And just ordered it, so I hope it is good. Ha ha!

Evol Ving Ness

Thank you, Martin!
