A huge thanks and thunderous round of applause for Cavocorax for sending me a package of teas to try out! Such an exciting thing to find in my mailbox today, especially since I hadn’t had my morning tea yet.
As I’ve been wanting to try some A&D teas and she was kind enough to send some samples along, I thought this would be good for breakfast.
So I have no idea what sort of teas this is comprised of, but a smokey note is mentioned.
I did get a tiny whiff of something when I smelled the leaves, but nothing scary.
So I brewed this up at 100 degrees for 4 min, and let it cool, then had a sip (you’re welcome for the play by play – during this time I also had a piece of leftover bacon out of the fridge)
….not sure what to expect, but I ended up enjoying this!
It’s definitely slightly smokey, but in a good way! I especially notice the flavours in my cup after I had a few mouthfuls of breakfast then went back to it. Definitely a hint of astringency at the end, but nothing off putting.
I don’t think I need to own this one, which is good because it’s not cheap and it’s a massive tin!
But thank you to Cavo for letting me try this :)

You know what’s really good? Leftover bacon dipped in guacamole…just sayin’
@Terri – you are wicked. I want that. Except there is a phrase there that does not make sense to me: “leftover bacon”
Right! The secret is to cook extra & then force yourself not to eat it. :)
Well there’s only two of us so if we polished off an entire pack of bacon every Sunday we’d be in trouble :)
Bacon and avocado…mmmmmmm
Uhhh I guess there are three of us now but the baby hasn’t been introduced to bacon yet :)
aaaah, I have guacamole! And bacon!
I don’t eat bacon & guac all the time, but it does make a good substitute for tortilla chips.

D’awww. :P Glad you’re enjoying them, and that you’re figuring out what you don’t need to order! :D
