Fortnum Advent Sipdown #18

Why am I pushing myself to finish all these teas by the end of January? Because the wooden advent box is large and I want to keep it as a Christmas decoration rather than leave it out all year. I want to keep all the empty tins in it and I don’t want to have to get it back out again after I get it all put away neatly so tins must be emptied ASAP.

Darjeeling isn’t a favorite tea type for me, nor for Ashman although he didn’t mind this one. I had a lot left so today it became a gallon of sweet iced tea! It tastes pretty good this way actually, and we will definitely enjoy polishing it off this way much more than laboring through several pots of hot tea.

As an iced tea, the color is especially nice. It has such clarity and tastes as clean and fresh as it looks.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
