From Harney & Sons

In 1857, A. Bronson Alcott purchased 12 acres of land in Concord, MA. A dilapidated house dating from the mid-1600s and outbuildings were included for free. The apple orchard on the property was extraordinary and delighted Mr. Alcott, who considered apples the most perfect food. Not surprisingly, he named this home, “Orchard House”.

After moving nearly two dozen times in three decades, the Alcotts had finally found their anchoring place and after extensive repairs, resided there for 20 years. Orchard House is most noted for being where Louisa May Alcott wrote and set the beloved novel, Little Women, in 1868 at a desk her father built for her.

Please enjoy this decorative, limited edition tea that we prepared for the release of the 2019 rendition of Little Women.

My fourth scavenger hunt tea! The prompt was to drink a green tea and I thought this would be a good pairing for waffles with baked apples and whipped cream this morning. It was super mild, with delicious apple flavor, but rather overwhelmed by the food.

After breakfast we had a couple of cups left (I had made a huge pot) and that was when I enjoyed it most. The green tea base was much more present and the apple flavor was very natural and sweet.

Honey flavor wasn’t an option when I was putting in the ingredients to list this tea, so I had to put honey instead.

I would love to see this available loose leaf someday, but it is good enough that if sachets are the only way to get it, I would still repurchase. It isn’t one I have to have on hand at all times, but definitely one I would like to revisit periodically.

Aw, I haven’t had a Little Women reread for a while! Need to remedy that.

ashmanra

I haven’t read it since childhood! I probably need to remedy that.

Little Women, Christy, Little Town on the Prairie and Gone With the Wind, vie for 1st place on my “how many times can a 6th grader reread the same book?” list

I read aaaaaall the Little House books with my children! Did you ever read the Ralph Moody series? I read The Home Ranch at about age eleven, went back to the first book and read Little Britches (Father and I Were Ranchers) and devoured every book he wrote. Introduced Ashman to them after we married and he read them all. Fantastic series and actually autobiographical.

Not familiar with that series—Mom must’ve never encountered it, because it sounds like something she would’ve put in front of me.
