When my husband asked me for a list of possible birthday gifts I might want the first thing I did was make a Butiki list! ;) Even though I’ve never had this one I really wanted to try it.

So, on my birthday Saturday I visited a local outdoor Sculpture festival. They were giving out these clay flower pots that had been stencil painted with pretty designs, and some of them including the one I took had the phrase “The Best of All Possible Worlds” stenciled around it. I’ve sort of had the phrase stuck in my head ever since, and had to read all about the French philosopher who coined the term and everything. Anyway, this tea made me think of that. It seems to be the best of all of its elements. A black tea with a little of everything! Very satisfying!!! :) I feel the addition of Darjeeling really makes it special.
