Ashman and I had a date day in Raleigh today. Our favorite harden center moved but it is in a very busy location now instead of the charming historic one from before, and some of the items I really wanted to look at are either discontinued or not yet moved to the new location. A couple of our other favorite stores have closed. Whyyyyyyyy?
After lunch I decided that even though I have way too much tea I should support local business, especially one that has been so good to me. We went to Tin Roof Teas and I wanted to buy so many different teas but restrained myself and got three.
I bought this because hot weather is almost upon and indeed we have already had highs in the 80’s and this tea is so good in hot weather. We visited Superanna and her husband after that and she is a mint lover as well as a big green and white tea drinker. Not only did she like it but her husband liked it a lot, and he doesn’t usually care for green tea!
Naturally I left it with them to enjoy so I don’t have to add three teas to cupboard tonight! The spearmint and Egyptian mint really make this for me as I prefer it over peppermint in Moroccan Mint, and the gunpowder green base has good body and doesn’t come off super smoky as some do.
Maybe in a few months IF I manage a good number of sipdowns, I will repurchase this for the real summer heat. I wonder if it would make a good tea pop?
