SONNENTOR ADVENT DAY 16
We had a beautiful warm day today but I was cooking and preparing for “first Christmas.” I never made it outside to enjoy it. After grocery shopping tonight, it was still quite warm and after bustling around putting away groceries I was not in the mood for anything hot. So I decided to ice this!
It looks like the blend has changed a little since Martin had it two years ago. The sentiment on the wrapper is still the same. I love the little short stories or memories on each one! They are a tiny snapshot of Christmas.
Martin lists chamomile but my box says apple mint, lemon balm, peppermint, blue mallow, daisies, blue cornflower, and marigold. It could be that one of these is another name for chamomile?
I made a cup of hot tea (Christmas Wreath by Lupicia) for the Ashman and a glass of this, sweetened and iced for me and we sat in the rockers and enjoyed the warm evening.
I think the lemon balm came out most for me, followed by apple mint and peppermint with the floral tastes rounding out subtly. It was just what I wanted, a refreshing drink to enjoy while relaxing.
It was good enough to make me want to ice more of these if we have more warm days, and we are supposed to hit 73 tomorrow and 76 Saturday. The next two in the advent don’t look like good icers to me, though. We will see.
I will repeat myself with this note, but as it was 3 years ago since I wrote that one…
It is nicely refreshing cup of tea, mostly of peppermint (not sure if I am able to notice applemint as it does not contain menthol), somehow rough herbal notes, I thought it was thyme or something… but it seems it was long-steeped lemon balm.
Enjoyable herbal tea. Maybe a bit better than last time. And again, available in 1 kg bulk package :)
Flavors: Herbs, Mint
Sounds like a tea that would be delicious hot or cold.
I’m jealous of your warm weather! We’re having several nights in the single digits (°F) and it looks like the snow is here to stay for a while. We’ve reached the point where I’m going to have to give up my beloved flip-flops and pull out my snow boots…or just stay inside drinking tea until spring.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a commercial tea with apple mint in it! I have plenty from the back porch garden and should take advantage of it more often.
DrowningMySorrows – Oh my! I honestly cannot imagine that much snow for that long! And so cold! I would be weeping. Maybe you can become a snowbird and migrate south for winter!
gmathis – I really liked it! I have never seen it for sale at garden centers here, might beg a few seeds off of you sometime!
Well, I haven’t noticed chamomile as well. And apparently by their website chamomile is not in as well. I guess I will remove it from the list here. Maybe it was there back then.
