I made scones this morning. I love scones. These were blueberry buttermilk scones with a sugar glaze. I also made a cup of this tea to enjoy with my scones when they came out of the oven, because hey, you gotta eat them when they’re warm! This tea was nutty and sweet and went well with the scone. The cool thing was, my husband, who doesn’t like tea, tried a sip, and liked it! Woo! I may bring him over to our side yet!

Sounds like a fantastic combination! I’ve yet to make scones/biscuits with buttermilk since I could never go through a whole carton of the stuff haha.

@boychik – I would but I decided to keep Instagram private so I could filter who follows me, so I put some photos on Flickr.

@Fjellrev – that’s why you make more than one batch! I’ll probably make some more next weekend…my husband wants me to add banana to them. ;)

Fjellrev

Smart! Sounds like something I’d do after I’ve already tried a recipe to see if it’s good enough to make larger batches, though. I need to plan a day where I’d make scones, oatmeal muffins, and pancakes so it won’t sit around haha. And banana would be awesome. :D

Another profile facelift! My tastes have changed a lot from when I first discovered loose leaf tea.

I can trace my tea journey back to October 2012, when I discovered DavidsTea. Before that, I had the occasional cup and enjoyed high tea at An Afternoon to Remember, which has since closed.

I went through a period of wanting to try all the teas, and was really into flavored teas, especially dessert blacks, but my tastes have substantially changed over time.

I still enjoy the occasional flavored black or rooibos, but I’m more into unflavored black teas right now and recently, puerh. Chinese black teas are amazing…with their notes of chocolate or sweet potato, who needs a flavored tea? I had a much steeper learning curve when it came to puerh. I used to dump out cups of puerh for tasting like leather. Now, I am really enjoying them. I think it took finding good quality puerh and steeping them gong fu style to really enjoy them.

I also, on occasion, enjoy a good oolong, white, or green tea.

Favorite tea companies right now include: Mandala, Teavivre, Butiki, Golden Moon, Lupicia, and DavidsTea (for teaware mostly).

Just a note: I don’t rate my teas numerically because my iPad doesn’t like the scroll bar. Maybe someday that will change…hint hint, steepster! ;)

P.S. My profile picture is of one of my 2 cats, Holly, who is a little princess but very photogenic, and she loves boxes, including those that bring me tea! :)
