drank Queen Catherine by Harney & Sons

JacquelineM has been teasing Steepster with her reviews featuring Blueberry Buckle lately. “Drool!” said gmathis. “What is Blueberry Buckle?” said I. A quick google search and now it is MINE!

I like to serve sweets with a plain black tea and then I select other teas to follow, keeping the lightest teas for last so we can experience them on their own when we have finished the desserts. I have only about one half ounce of Catherine left, so I decided to make this our first tea and use it up so I can order a fresh batch before chilly weather arrives and/or school begins. Around here, school will start Monday and chilly weather might never show up!

The Buckle was wonderful, fantastic, amazing! I loved it! We served it with homemade vanilla ice cream, a very light recipe that I make. The tea was perfect with it. It is smooth, non-astringent, with a hint of smoke, and just the right strength to pair with desserts or to drink by itself. It doesn’t need milk or sugar for me.

This tea is a fitting tribute for an amazing lady.

I’ll mail myself to your house for dessert :)

YUM! I hope to get my hands on some more blueberries this weekend — I’ll have to try The Queen with a new cake. You should try some Golden Monkey if you have any buckle left!

Gmathis – send yourself the expensive way, overnight! We are making cards tomorrow and I have a feeling all the buckle will be gone after that! :D

JacquelineM – this is delicious! Sam got some from my guest, then hubby gave him some because he was standing by the counter whining, then I came in and gave him some, and he is still whining! I think he has had enough! :)

Cards?! Waaaahh! I will be slaving away, shoveling bureaucratic paperwork all day…in deep need of a cutting and gluing fix!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
