So, for my “Tea that I would happily drink everyday” from the Steepster Scavenger Hunt, I decided to go with this tea. It is one of my all-time favorite teas. I have been blending this tea for well over fifteen years now – I started blending it back when I was still blending & selling teas as LiberTEAS & I’ve reblended it as the Mad Tea Artist of 52Teas at least three times. To brew this tea tonight, I had to open my very last pouch that I have of this tea – so, I may need to reblend this one within the next year or so because I can’t be without it too long otherwise I miss it.
This is a blend of black teas (including a rose congou), rose petals and buds, cinnamon & vanilla beans. A fairly simple combination, to be sure, but it’s one that works so beautifully. Tonight, I’m having it as a latte – and it’s delightful as a latte. It’s delightful straight. It’s delightful iced. It’s one of those teas that makes me happy when I drink it.
I could happily drink this every day.
