I am not a fan of fruity teas, by any means, but this tea is fixing to change my mind. Maybe. This tea has the backbone of a good black tea, but the sweetness that I sometimes miss in the more astringent blends. The fruit elements are earthy enough to stand up to the black tea, but never get sickly sweet. It fills your whole mouth. Best tea for a stormy afternoon.
I love tea because it’s more than just a beverage. There’s an ancient history and story to it. It brings people together, and they leave that steam-dancing circle with better understandings of themselves and each other.
There’s a verse in Revelation 22 that says that “the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” I’m wondering if tea is a part of that, somehow.
I am an environmental educator, and an art teacher, so my crazy, barefoot, big-haired and happy license is current!
