Today is our Welcome Back “Coffee” Break here at work; it’s a Staff Council tradition each semester. My coworker went, and brought us back a pile of pastries! I zeroed in on a croissant filled with what I now know to be a delicious cinnamon almond paste. (Mmmm!)

I was pawing through my tea drawer for something good to have with it, and unearthed this beauty. Clear as can be on the label it said “…best served with pastries and fruits.” I decided to take that advice and Oh! The synergy! I’ve always loved this tea, but paired with this pastry??! I feel as if I’ve melted and gone to a Very Happy Place!!! Sweet touch of vanilla, jasminey, but just a little, and good tea flavor. Perfect sans additions. Thank you for making my day Golden Moon (and pastry!!)!!!!

Oh, Jacqueline! You sent me a sample of this long ago and I couldn’t bring myself to finish it because I love to sniff it! Now I am going to have to make it and serve with something yummy. I think I will just have to order some and serve it at the Wednesday tea party!

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
