Well we just finished a Christmas potluck at work, so it’s appropriate to now have some Santa’s Secret to finish off my meal.
The water temperature was a bit cooler than usual today so I got less in the way of the darker notes from the black tea but it really served to highlight the vanilla which was a refreshing change for me. It was still minty though, but more of a spearmint rather than the definite peppermint notes that I’ve encountered prevoiusly. I find it so interesting that just a slight shift in water temperature can make such a dynamic change to a tea. Here’s hoping that after Christmas I can play with that a bit on my own rather than having it be a “happy accident” :)
sigh Now I really wish I could sit back and just enjoy my tea, but back to work I must go… On the plus side I’ve only got 2 more days of work to go before the holidays!
