Every season I jot down a list of things, fun things, that I would like to do during that season (things like work on my bread baking skills, knit another sweater, watch 3 classic movies, go snowshoeing with Dad etc.). I find it helps me make sure I'm thoroughly taking advantage of the season, not just "getting through" it. I usually don't accomplish everything on the list (and if I do I add more), the fun is in trying.
One of the things left unchecked on my winter list was: have a tea tasting. The end of February is the most perfect time for a tea tasting, don't you think? I compared Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Irish Breakfast, and English Breakfast Teas. Turns out I like them all. No surprise as I have never met a tea I didn't like, but my favorite had to be the Lady Grey (which according to Twinings is a light and bright blend scented with notes of citrus).
Anyone have another tea I should try?
I'm from the Netherlands and we've got all sorts of tea. All kinds of fruit like cherry, strawberry, melon, tropical fruit. Also herb tea like: cinnamon and typical Dutch: Zoethout, it taste a bit like Liquorice.
ReplyDeleteThese teas aren't too sweet.. Whenever I visit the states, i'll bring my own tea!
I can send you some if you want! :)
Love your blog!

Thanks for visiting Jose!! :) I'm definitely a big herbal tea fan too, my favorite is either peach or raspberry tea!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea! I never have been able to tell the difference between English Breakfast and Earl Grey. I should compare them together so I can cement it in my brain :)
