A minty tea with fruit. The color of this tea is a bit murky now and makes it hard to see the glitter unless you put it in something clear. Most people would probably love this tea but I am not the biggest fan of mint so I drink it but don’t love it. I do like it well enough iced where the mint helps with the cooling sensation. This is a year past date, but the mint is still quite strong. The big berries don’t appear to have suffered.

huh, rather than expecting most to love this blend, I think they would expect to dislike it, but once they hesitantly tried it, they would like it. (See also: ham & pineapple pizza.)

I love anything-and-pineapple pizza! Ham, pepperoni, veggies…it’s all good!

tea-sipper

ha, good to know you are also of the pineapple crew, ashmanra. :D

tea-sipper: I saw a recipe for a beloved German snack called Toast Hawaii and made it because I figured if I liked pineapple on pizza I would like it. Basic recipe is quite adaptable but is a piece of toast, place cheese and a slice of ham on the toast and place in oven to melt the cheese. Top with a ring of pineapple and a maraschino cherry in the middle. It really is good! You can use jam instead of the cherry or leave both out. You can use bologna or a different meat. The key is toast, melted cheese, meat, and pineapple. Even Ashman (GASP!) liked it.

oh wow, thanks for that tip. I will have to try this “instant ham pineapple pizza” at some point!

YouTube and Google tell all about it. It was popularized by a tv chef but is basically a riff from a wartime Spam sandwich recipe!

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…
