THIRSTY THURSDAY!!!!! What's in your cup??
From the website-
"The French Tea Blend from English Tea Store is a blend featuring Ooh-la-la flavor notes from "creme de la vanille", Earl Grey, Jasmine and Lavender, all deliciously blended with flavory Ceylons, Nilgiris, Assams and Kenyas. A good flavored tea tempered with flowery character and malty notes.
The Assam component gives the tea richness, while the Nilgiri and Ceylon gives the tea a saucy but sprightly flavor. From Kenya, there is romance and mystery with superb golden color notes and from China there is the delicate perfume of Jasmine, so often used in Parisian perfumes. To cement the "French" character, lavender from Provence was added along with some rose petals, a tea fit for the Latin Quarter along the Seine.
98% or more of this tea comes from estates that are part of the Ethical Tea Partnership, and 50% or more from Fair Trade estates. The ETP is an initiative started within the tea industry to monitor and regulate living and working conditions on estates around the world."
Ingredients: Luxury black tea, Luxury green tea, Rose petals, Lavender + Jasmine + Cornflower petals, Natural flavors
I am a fan of this tea. And for the first time EVER in my life I added honey to my tea!!! And I liked that too. A girl in my church makes honey, so I decided to try it. I like it- and since it is local they say that should help with allergies too.
I am drinking from my fun Mason jar- the lid of the ball jar is my coaster.
I like this tea, it has great flavors! It is a mix of black and green tea- SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO :
1. don't boil the water
2. steep for 3 minutes
When you have a mix of teas, you always go with the water temp and steep time of the more "fragile" tea. You should then get a perfect cup of tea!!! I did not add milk to this tea- it doesn't need it either. I never add milk to green tea. I normally like it in black tea, but since it was a mix of green and black I opted for no milk. The honey though was a nice touch.
I am using the ball jar lid as a coaster, or when drinking tea, I lay the tea ball on it. Very handy!!!!!
My friend, Audrey Forrer, makes this great honey!
