Oh Elderwood, you.
Drinking this cup by cup and listening to the Hobbit audiobook on my decade-and-a-half old cassette/cd player combo while making Lembas bread. I love having days off from work. :D
The vanilla is incredible in this blend. They give something delightfully sweet to the creamy milk chocolatey goodness of the base blend. There is also a bit of oak and conifer that reminds me of the name of this blend.
I steeped this western-style, for 3 mins, 4 mins, 6 mins with much success in a 16 oz porcelain teapot. Elderwood is the best of the best out of Whispering Pine’s Vanilla Dreams Collection, IMO. I urge anyone to try it. Wait for a sale, it’s worth it.

This one is on my list of teas I need to try. It sounds delightful.
It’s pretty much magical.

I made it less like a cookie and more like the hearty “meal” bread Tolkien describes it. Instead of the whote flour I used 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of hemp protein meal. Oh and I doubled the cinnamon and added 1tsp of nutmeg. You should try it! I just finished it all yesterday. :P
