I needed something to pick me up after clearing the raised beds in the garden and planting onions and peas, and before tackling the dreaded shirt ironing. This seemed like a great candidate! Definitely strong, but so honeyed and delicious. Utterly classic. I love it for the afternoon when you have a ton to do and don’t want to get all sugary and dreamy with a flavored afternoon tea, and you don’t have time for a multiple steep tea.

I like the comment about a mutiple steep tea—I always feel guilty if I don’t use a multiple steep tea more than once….
Sorry about the shirt ironing. (I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I like to iron…unwrinkling things soothes me.)
Lori – me too! It is the thing that keeps me from trying my Samovar Four Seasons! I know it can go up to something like 15 steeps and I just haven’t been in one place for that long of a time!!! LOL
gmathis – my grandmother LOVED ironing and my uncle would bring over his lab coats for her to iron because not even the cleaners did them as well as her. I sadly did not get the ironing gene – sometimes I think the clothes looked better before I took the iron to them! But I have gotten better. I need the skill for sewing (half the battle of sewing is ironing I find!!!) so I keep at it!
