I must thank ashmanra’s mention of the April Sipdown Prompt – mix two of your teas together. I have never done this onsite before, so hope I am doing it properly. (If not, I’m sure I will be informed—nicely, I hope!)
At any rate, I’m tickled pink to share this blend which I love and drink often: 3 teabags EACH of Celestial Seasonings’ HONEY VANILLA CHAMOMILE and Republic of Tea’s EMPEROR’S WHITE (100% WHITE TEA). I make it in my coffeemaker’s well-cleaned carafe, which holds 57 ounces.
Unorthodox, I know, but boiling the water in my electric kettle, putting the 6 teabags in the ‘coffeepot’, then pouring in the not-quite-boiling water works for us.
Yum! This is one of our go-to blends for our evening pot of tea! The Honey Vanilla Chamomile is sweet and light and blends perfectly with the Emperor’s White. There’s not a lot of caffeine, and it’s warm, sweet, light and comforting. I’m very glad to be able to share a blend I’ve enjoyed for at least 2-3 years now. May you all like and enjoy it as well!

I’ve always thought the honey vanilla was a little too sweet for my taste—dimming it down sounds like a good move!

Thanks. I generally use it to blend some sweetness into a mixed bag pot. It’s there, yet not too stridently, and it lightens up the caffeine load if the camilla siensis I’ve chosen has some. Since it brings the sweetness in itself, I don’t need to add sugar or honey.

That sounds wonderful – and any way you choose to do it is right! :)

Seems to me there’s a thin line between true discernment and pretentious twaddle. I’ll write what teas work for me, why I like them or not. I’m not the connoisseur some folks here are, but I think you will get a fair assessment of whatever tea I write about.
