I was skeptical of this tea that I received as a Mystery Blend. My skepticism was based solely on the name. I expected grassy greens with herbs and weeds that aren’t delicious. My first sniff let me know I was wrong. This fruity (elderberry and apricot) tea is lovely and comforting any time of day.
I first learned to love tea while studying abroad in Scotland, and I’ve been hooked ever since. In fact, chai made with real milk and honey on the stovetop was my sustenance during the final crush of my graduate thesis. God bless you, chai. Maybe because of those experiences, I love a good sweet and milky tea. One of my absolute favorites is a winter tea from Trader Joe’s: Vanilla and Cinnamon Black Tea. Another is Hot Cinnamon Spice by Harney and Sons. Hmmm, a trend?
My two girls love tea, and we have a tradition of a Back-to-School Afternoon Tea. That thrills me.
