SONNENTOR ADVENT TEA DAY 13

Well, this advent has taught me one or two new German words and also a new flavor.

When I started steeping this, I smelled nettle right away! I am not nearly as good as some of you at identifying aromas and tastes, so I was pretty happy with myself.

Once the cup has finished steeping, the nettle aroma has died away. I taste the linden first and the spearmint with it but not strong. This is a little more floral tasting than the other herbal blends so far.

Overall, it is a nice relaxing cup for bedtime!

Have you been learning German?

I took several years of German in high school and won a fluency award, and the. one semester in college. Many many years passed before I used German again! I taught elementary German to my daughter and for her final lessons we read Im Westen Nichts Neues together, translating as we went.

Now I am teaching three young ladies who are homeschooled and who have also been my music students. I emphasize, I am teaching basics only so don’t be impressed! Ha ha!

We had a lesson today and focused on Christmas words and German holiday traditions. Their mother gave me a copy of A Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady in German for Christmas!

That’s really neat! I find languages so fascinating and I’ve been learning Danish for a few years now (I have Danish ancestry, so my interest developed from that).

I alway like to hear about other people’s journeys with languages too!

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…
