Hubby is at last home from the “great Eastern snow storm.”We got a half inch here at home but three inches in areas immediately around us. Ha ha! But since ice on the roads is a factor with no one here having snow tires or chains, he had to work 75 hours this week, with 58 of those hours being consencutive and only broken by a three hour sleep and two twenty minute naps. Where he works, there were some truly treacherous icy roads to be dealt with. He gets tea and homemade chocolate peanut butter chip cookies for being our hero!
We had a really different experience with this tea compared to last time. I know food pairings can make a huge difference, but right off the bat when making the tea I picked up a lot more chocolate scent than before. Then, in case it was just me, I asked my daughter to sniff the leaves and see if she smelled chocolate. She did, to the point that she was really surprised when I told her there is no added chocolate scent or flavor, it was just the natural flavor of this tea. There was a lot of mineral scent in the wet leaves, and nutty, mineral, and chocolate flavor to the liquor. I am sad to see this one go, but it was indeed a sipdown.This is You :-D

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.
