Fortnum & Mason Advent Day 9

We practically cut our loose leaf teeth on Ceylon tea. The Fancy Ceylon from A Southern Season was magnificent. That was back in the days when we all added milk and sugar, but even as I began to take my tea plain, we still loved low- and mid-elevation grown Ceylon. The high elevation ones are usually lemony or minty/menthol-y and I don’t love them as much, like Uva Highlands and Lover’s Leap.

This is a nostalgic cuppa for those reasons, and I enjoyed it. Since each tin is 25 grams I can have it at least once or twice more.

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…
