Fortnum & Mason Advent Day 8

I drank this today as we went out of town yesterday. This is not a favorite Christmas tea nor is it a favorite Fortnum tea, yet I have three tins of it – one large and two tiny. They duplicate this tea every year in the advent and the karge tin came in the Christmas hamper this year. I will probably give away one of the small tins. I like that it is more than just orange-cinnamon-clove like so many black Christmas teas, but I really could do without the clove. It says the blend is five per cent clove, and that is 4 3/4% more than I want.

Not the worst Christmas tea ever and sometimes I even enjoy with food, but definitely not my favorite, either. Maybe I can pick most of the cloves out.

I have now picked all the clove I could find out of the small tin. Hopefully that will help.

My opinion as well…why overdo it always with clove in Xmas blends???

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen 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…
