I am so so SO glad it’s March. Despite February being so short it was absolutely brutal weather-wise. Today the sun is shining and its supposed to get up into the 70s and there is real, actual SUNLIGHT outside my window.
Also I grew up in Savannah, and the city turns green for the entire month, seemingly, in preparation for St. Patrick’s day. For all of these reasons I was thinking of Ireland and decided this would be the perfect cup for a perfect Sunday morning.
This is a springy tea to me, not least because of the little green flecks present in the leaf when steeping. So bright and happy.
Served with a splash of creamer as it started to get a tad astringent when cooling. But by itself there is a really nice creamy note (before bitterness starts to creep in- next time I’ll try and be a little lighter handed on the steeping). In general this is a cup that gets sweeter as it settles – creamier and tangier as it cools.
This is a fabulous mix of breakfast and dessert tea… really, just a fabulous tea, period. One of my favorite Butiki blends.
Lucky! We are having an ice storm! Also this one is one of my faves too :)
