This is the final tea from my swap with Cameron B. After I fed the dogs and the chickens and cooked my own breakfast, I sat down and suddenly felt overwhelmed at how blessed I am and how thankful. I looked at my teacup and thought, “I have this tea because of the kindness of someone far away.” And my heart just felt all gooey and happy. I think fall weather makes me extra sentimental, but I like it!
The Prince had a lot to compete with, following Anastasia’s magnificent performance yesterday. I enjoyed my cuppa…well, cuppaS, because I resteeped!
It is a medium black tea base with moderate orange and clove flavor. Nice for breakfast, and would be good on a chilly afternoon as a pick me up. Not astringent but only mildly and barely brisk, there is no need for milk or sugar. It cut through the sweetness of the maple syrup just right. While I enjoyed it, it didn’t blow me over like Anastasia did.
