Fruit Pie Chai

Evening tea. 8 pm.

Brews nice red/pink colour. Smells nice after fruits, with spices. Not surprising, right?
But it is exactly that. Blueberries, oranges. Just nicely mouth-watering blend again. The backbone is somehow little spicy, but luckily not so much; I think mostly cinnamon and little of ginger.

As for evening teas, I think it is good one.
And tomorrow nieces will come and I have no asylum for myself. Oh dear… (it is one night only though)

The first blizzard of the year hit today, October 11, 2019 in North Dakota, USA. This is a little early even for us, so I was feeling a bit grumpy. The interstate highways are closed and the state is advising no unnecessary travel, but the mail came. I was excited to see the Bird & Blend tea subscription packet. I opened it up and couldn’t wait to try something new. But I made myself wait until after work. I needed to do some cleaning and shoveling first, too (although why I bothered to shovel when I’m not going anywhere and it will continue snowing for at least 24 hours…) Anyway, by the time I was able to sit down and brew a cup it was after supper so I chose to try out the caffeine free tea first.

It was a perfect choice for this evening, warm and mildly sweet and spicy. I am not a fan of hibiscus, but it isn’t glaring here. Just a little zing that is muted by the fruit. I am glad to have gotten this one today. I won’t rush out to buy 50 grams of it, but I’ll enjoy the 20 grams I have.
