I am completely, utterly, and delightfully shocked how good this tea is without any cream and just a half teaspoon of sugar! My coworkers brought in sweets for my birthday today (awwwwwww!) and I wanted to drink this tea with them, but didn’t have any milk! So, I said “Oh throw caution to the wind! You are now aged enough to be considered an eccentric old bat – do something wacky!!!”
I lowered the temperature and steep time and voilà! Delicious, vanilla tinged, excellent with pastry breakfast tea. Yay! I think this eccentric old bat time of life suits me!

So many birthdays! I bet you’re going to have the most delicious baked things ever for your birthday, and I will be — as usual! — deeply, mournfully envious of your skills with the oven. I hope you have a great one!
Thank you! I’m pretty excited – we have reservations on sunday for a full afternoon tea at a 250 year old farmhouse which prepares most of the food portion of the meal with produce from their behind the restaurant garden! I hope to take pictures! I am taking off from the oven for my birthday, well mostly. I have this really nice steak that needs cooking tonight, but… ;)
Thanks AmazonV! I’ll let you know how sunday goes – it’s in Chalfont PA so not too far away from either of us! We then hope to go to the Mercer museum in Doylestown.
