From Adagio Custom Blends, Sami Kelsh

Cool under pressure, but warm as an affectionate puppy, Sergeant Benton is impossible not to love. Likewise, this tea combines warm chocolate with cool peppermint, and the hint of a smouldering plume of gunsmoke. A Doctor Who blend.

Created by: Sami Kelsh

Ingredients: black tea, peppermint, lapsang souchong, cocoa nibs & natural chocolate flavor, chocolate chips

Steeping Instructions: Steep at 212° for 4 minutes.

Ok, so I guess I’m grudgingly getting into the holiday spirit. Or maybe it’s just that it’s cold outside and the residual heat from the oven when you leave the door open after you’ve baked a batch of cookies means you don’t have to put the radiator on, thus killing two electricity birds with one stone. Or that it’s grey and grim as heck and I need all the blankety, cardigan-flavoured, comfort things I can get to keep me going.

Whatever it is, the flavour of peppermint, dark chocolate, made deep and toasty warm with a pinch of bonfire, is totally hitting every conceivable spot right now. It is definitely the time of year for all my winter warmer teas. The rain seeps into your bones here. That’s why they drink so much tea. You need it to protect you, and Benton’s doing an admirable job.

I am cold today too. Yesterday it was +16C, today my car was reading +1C and there are little snowflakes. I have a cake to bake… probably a great idea to help heat the house!

Sami Kelsh

Definitely. By the time we’d finished cooking dinner tonight, it was 19 degrees in here!

Kittenna

Yep, definitely bumped up the house temp by a few degrees thanks to some cooking, and I’m no longer shivering while fully clothed in a housecoat. Hahaha.

Sami Kelsh

I anticipate it’s going to be a sauna at mine tonight by the time I’ve done baking. JOY.
