Ti Quan Yin (Spring Floral) from Harney & Sons

Wow. Youngest just helped me make the traditional June 21st pound cake. (Hubby proposed when I went to visit him at his university and I gave him a pound cake. I didn’t think to ask until much later if he married me for love or for the recipe! When I ask, he just sings, “I LOVE my baby’s pound cake!” Apparently it was a Van Halen song?). Naturally there was much licking of the batter bowl and beaters and I took a sip of this tea.

WOW! Somehow today it is extra fruity – like raisin juice! Yum! I think this one may become indispensable on the tea shelf. It isn’t a green oolong, but it doesn’t have that heavy roasty taste. Floral and fruity are good descriptors for this one!

Thank you, Russel Allyn and Harney and Sons!

Sugar and spice and everything nice. That’s what little girls are made of.

I am a music teacher and homeschooling mom who started drinking loose leaf tea about three years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
