Serenity

Serenity drank Jessie's Tea by DAVIDsTEA

This herbal concoction is quite unique with its quirky addition of lavender. Coconut and lavender: definitely a different combination for me. Delicate, floral, spicy and sweet were adjectives that came to mind. True story: I woke up with a very bad headache, the kind that just settles in at the base of your skull and makes you dizzy and borderline queasy. I had this herbal infusion and voila, my headache receded and went away completely. Voila: the healing properties of lavender! The end.

What a funky-dunky combination! I have a little of both around the house (some Adagio black coconut and lavender from local health food store). I wonder what coconut-to-lavender proportion would mimic this. Thoughts?

I would send you a samp but I only gots a samp! The lavender is sprinkled throughout, the taste is present in every sip, more than just a fragrance, but the flavor of lavender does not overwhelm: it’s not ALL lavender ALL the time, you dig?

Household alchemy awaits! (The way the week is going it may await a while, but I still want to experiment.)

Bio

Although I can be heard to mutter “Dust! Fannings and dust!” when drinking a poor cup of tea, I really don’t think I’m a tea snob. Want to talk about your favorite tisane with jelly beans in it? I’m there. Want to talk about gyokuro and assam? Done. I welcome the chance to discuss all things tea and tea related because I’m that kind of nerd: a tea nerd. Other things I’m passionate about: my family: my husband and daughter and our Chihuahua and new cat; literature, and social justice. I have poor eyesight, a good temperament, an odd sense of humor and a lot of curiosity.
