Fortnum & Mason Tin Advent Day 6

Last year when I drank this tea it grew on me cup by cup. Today was just a radically different experience with it. I had it at lunch time. I stood by the counter watching the timer count down and noticed that most of the blend had sunk but there was a lot floating on top. I leaned over to check it out and the tea had sunk and a LOT of lavender was floating, plus what appeared to be a dried piece of rind, and the aroma was pure lavender with my nose so near the steeper.

Drinking it with my lunch, I could hardly detect the bergamot. It was lavender black tea all the way to me. I love floral tea and lavender is quite nice in my book. This was a good tea day all in all with the advents.

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…
