Sample Sipdown

July 24 Sipdown Prompt – International Self-Care Day: drink a calming cup in quietness

I have had this for a while and hadn’t tried it because I am usually drinking tea with Ashman in the evening and I didn’t realize how big this sample is. It fit the prompt so nicely that I decided to stay up late and try it. I have enough to drink it cold again tomorrow and if there is a big difference I will come back and note that in an edit.

This smells so good. I really enjoy green rooibos as a base for flavored teas, even though I dislike red rooibos. The citrus aroma is fresh and bright. There is a lot of chamomile aroma and the lavender is light.

Drinking the tea, I noticed a rich mouthfeel and sweetness from the marshmallow root. The chamomile is a little stronger in the taste than it was in the aroma of the dry leaves but the other flavors make it so interesting and so much better than plain chamomile, which I like fine but I like chamomile better with other flavors accompanying.

I like this blend better than Mother’s Day from Harney and Sons, which is a citrus chamomile tea. I looked it up on 52teas site and it is not currently available.

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…
