My eldest daughter bought this for me when she went to Amsterdam and Bruges. She has a knack for picking great teas for me when she travels, and i feel really spoiled that she always brings me gifts of tea when she travels.
I let my son’s girlfriend choose what we were drinking today, and I think she was influenced more by the aroma of the dry leaves than the beauty of the blend, which is riveting enough. So many bright flower petals! I needed this fruity cup of goodness. I had it with a scone and fresh whipped cream that youngest made. It is smooth and perfectly drinkable without additions.
And now I need help from you!
Eldest wants to take youngest on a little trip for her 16th birthday. Youngest wants to become as well travelled as her big sister. They have been to London, N. Ireland, and Ireland together twice.
Eldest is choosing between NYC and somewhere in Canada, where should they go? NY? Montreal? Quebec? Toronto? What should they do? I know lots of you are Canadian, and there are probably some New Yorkers here as well.

Toronto! We have many awesome tea shops and an amazing Zoo!
Nice! They do like tea, youngest lives scones, and eldest loves breads, pastries, and any and all new food! Also, youngest is on a quest to find the best hot chocolate in the world. So far, O’Connail’s of Ireland is unmatched.
what time of year haha. that will factor :)
Oh, so true! Mid- to late January!
Brrrrr.
Montreal is a really amazing city to visit. I’ve quite enjoyed visiting NYC and Toronto too, but they haven’t quite captured my imagination like Montreal.
January to visit Canada? I think we are going to have a nasty winter here the way it’s working out. If it was summer, spring or fall , I would suggest they go a little bit east of NYC to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It is beautiful there but probably not in January.
For entertainment, you can’t beat Toronto but the outer areas of Toronto are nice too: Mississauga, Oakville, Hamilton. I would suggest they check out Niagara Falls. Lots to do there. One small city I love is Kingston. I haven’t been there in awhile but it’s a very small artsy city near the 1000 islands. Back when I visited there were always a few tea shops. I bet even more today.
If they want to ski, there’s plenty of spots in Quebec, Ontario & New York for skiing.
If i was coming in january, i’d stay out of Montreal unless you enjoy the cold and snow (which i do). However les fetes des neiges happens that time of year so if that is something of interest, i’d do that.
Toronto will be a bit warmer, though maybe not given all the weird weather predictions going on these days…
