Was pleasantly surprised to find whole leaf in the silken sachet Mighty Leaf tea in the diner I was eating in this evening (why was I in a diner on Thanksgiving? Long story short, we had our dinner at the place my mom lives, a care facility for wheelchair bound people (my mom has MS), at noon, and we were starving again by the evening!) ANYWAY! I was presented a tea chest and could pick which tea I would like, and I chose the Organic Earl Grey.
Maybe I was just desperate for a cup of tea, but I thought it was really quite good! At the diner, they give you a little metal teapot full of hot water – enough for 2 cups – and then your cup and the sachet. This is great because you can time your steep :)
I had my first cup with a little milk and sugar, and my second sans additions. Both steeps were flavorful, not heavy on the bergamot, and to my taste, slightly smoky! Sort of like an English Breakfast type smoky. The leaves handled the two steeps admirably. I wanted to pinch myself because I couldn’t believe I was getting such a good cup of tea in a diner!! Sure, I have much better loose Earls at home, but I would choose this diner over any other in my area not only because the food is good, but because I can get a really nice cup of tea there. Ponzio’s, if you are ever in South Jersey and hungry!
P.S. I finally saw the latest Harry Potter. I loved it. I cried and cried and cried.

I cried too. I need to see the movie again… maybe I will be able to talk hubby into taking me to see it on Monday or Tuesday…
No spoilers!! I think I’ll get to go tomorrow!

Jaime – don’t worry – no spoilers! My husband hasn’t read the books but has gone to all of the films with me so he knows all of the characters and goings on. Since this was part 1 he was asking me all kinds of questions about what was going to happen in part two, and my lips were SEALED!
