Pukka Days of Christmas #14

Today, I had a wonderful surprise : the postwoman rang to say there was a parcel sticking out of our letterbox, so better to get it inmediately…which I did, and it was a present from my friend Dianne…not only with a lovely Xmas card (that would already have made my day…I´m terribly late this year and tomorrow, I´ll be sending out my “crismas”), but also including Pukka´s advent calender.
So, I hung the calendar, and decided to start with today´s teabag. And that was a very wise choice LOL…the peppermint dominates in nose, but when drinking the tea, the licorice balances the cold crispness of the mint to lengthen and warm the taste. I like it, and it reminds me of a tea another friend of mine, Melanie, recommended (sleepytime, from Celestial Seasonings)… as I remember that tea, as I haven´t drunk it in ages.
A very well balanced blend, and I might buy myself a box next time in UK.

Bio

Introduced to tea by my sister-in-law in my country of birth = Belgium more than 30 years ago, I still love tea, mainly black, which I enjoy without sugar or milk. Having lived in UK, near good tea shops (e.g. Betty´s all over Yorkshire), I tend to buy most of my tea in bulk from tea shops (as such, most of these are not represented in my on-line cupboard). Nowadays, I live in Spain where tea gives me another sensatory bliss (as wine or beer or coffee can give me too).
