Fortnum & Mason Advent Day 20 (sachets)
I was not sure I wanted a green tea with toast and jam today but I went with it because the tins advent is also a green today. It was not a disappointment at all. They suggest resteep ing this one and I did. It had good strength and was very nice with food, not as smoky as some gunpowder green I have tried and pretty smooth and easy drinking. Enough Heft to enjoy with food, even a sweet jelly.
Oddly – my finger has been hurting since last night. I have Heberden’s nodes and they hurt when they are forming and a new one in forming on my right index finger. I even mentioned it before and winced this morning. After having my tea, I could barely feel it. Is green tea THAT anti-inflammatory? Or was it just time for it to get better?

I have good memories of this gunpowder green! Something about it is soothing and never failed to make me feel better – maybe tied into the anti-inflammatory properties?
I really enjoyed it this morning, in spite of my initial feeling that I really wished I was having a black tea for breakfast! I should probably put this on my list for the next Fortnum order as there are a few things there I want to try. (The chilli and tomato spread was delicious.)
