A day ago it was quite warm and nice. Then that winter storm crashed through.And now, at least, my apartment is delightfully chilly even with the heat turned up to 75. (There’s a whole story about the maintenance insisting I keep my heat at 75 to prevent burst pipes. They pay for heat, so I have grumblingly complied while wearing Tshirts and shorts and sleeping with just a sheet)
Anyway, I brewed this one up this morning. I’ve been drinking mostly flavored dessert-y teas lately, but this morning I was eating my coconut lemon cookies and I decided I needed a straight black to contrast with the flavor of the cookies. The tea is aging. I’ve had it more than three years. But the flavor is still mellow and full. It was a perfect foil for the cookies. These cookies really are good. Here is the recipe if anyone is interested: https://www.shakentogetherlife.com/2016/03/lemon-coconut-sugar-cookies.html
I would love a tea with the flavor of the cookies. There is a sweetness followed by the tang of lemon. Not much of a tang, but enough to contrast with the coconut and vanilla.

Have you tried DT’s Lemon Pound Cake Oolong? No coconut, but pretty good.
Your maintenance people have a point. My pipes have burst more than once because I prefer to sleep in cool surroundings in flannel with heavy covers.
Yeah, I certainly don’t want the pipes to burst. And it’s pretty darned cold again. Sigh.
