From Fauchon

This very famous Bergamot tea illustrates all of the British elegance. The legendary elegance of the English Lords can be recognized in this pairing of black tea and Bergamot, whose origin dates back to the 18th century. To overcome the infamous taste of water, Count Grey’s Chinese servant had the idea of adding slices of Bergamot to the black tea. The count and his family were captivated by this unique recipe. Later becoming British Prime Minister in 1830, he helped make this recipe famous.

Advent Day 6

I see two other entries for EGs from Fauchon, but I think they are both a little different. I wasn’t thrilled to see an EG today (I just had a cup of Fortnum and Mason’ s smokey EG yesterday), but this is a fairly solid cup. It has prominent, but not overwhelming EG flavors. Towards the back of the sip I swear I can taste the tea, which doesn’t often happen with strong EGs. It goes down really easy and pleasantly as I ponder my day.
I tried to get one of my beehives buttoned down for the winter yesterday, but it started to rain so I had to close it back up. Today the sun is out and I’m trying to decide if I give it another go or focus on things like repotting some apricot trees I got a couple weeks ago. OR I could continue my project of photographing the various acorn species I’ve found. SO many choices and all of them depend on me getting off the computer! Maybe after I finish this cup.

Acorn species is interesting project, repotting apricot trees sounds demanding but necessary… I get it, hard decisions :)

Dustin

I decided on acorns, trees and yardwork. It was the right choice since the sun didn’t last and the rain came back.
