The teas I ordered for my birthday arrived today, and this was the first one I decided to try. It’s maybe not the most complex tea I’ve tasted, but it is so, so good. I don’t think I’ve ever had a tea that captured the smell of fresh, perfectly ripe strawberries so well. It also has strong notes of caramel/toffee and some apple. I hope they keep this blend around!
Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.
Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.
I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
