A sipdown! (M: 3 Y: 6) — prompt: Drink a tea whose name starts with one of your initials
Another office tea sipdown. When I have only two bags left, I prepare the first one in the office and bring the second one home to prepare it under “standard conditions.”
Honestly, I am surprised by how much I like this one. It tastes a little bit like Vanillekipferl with a refreshing citrusy note of bergamot. The base is, alas, a little boring. It can get bitter if steeped for too long and is a little metallic, as Ceylon teas usually are.
I drank it plain, but I can imagine that a little sugar or honey could make it a wonderfully flavored tea. Without it, it is tasty indeed, but something is lacking.
I had never heard of Vanillekipferl so I looked it up and those look tasty. I’m not a spectacular baker, but maybe one day I’ll try to hunt up a recipe somewhere and give them a try!
I strongly encourage you to try baking them, AliasHali!
