Lapsang souchong and Russian Caravan teas remind me of
sitting by a campfire. The smokiness of the tea just permeates the air.
They are rich black teas that have been smoked over a wood fire.
A dear friend loved this tea and each time I sip this tea I am reminded of her.

Grandpa's tobacco smoke resonates so strongly in my mind.
When I inherited his roll top desk and opened it the first time,
the desk still had the fragrance of my Grandfather. I still sometimes
expect to smell it when I sit down at this desk, instead I smell chocolate.
Smiling, as this is where you will find my stash.
oh hello, Joey! sweet fragrance of you cuddling in my lap each morning at the desk.
The fragrance of cinnamon and nutmeg brings images of apple pies shared so often and made
by my aunts, cousins, and myself over the years.
There was a friendly competition as to who made the best pie.
Oh the nuzzle of sweetness when you hold a newborn baby, there is nothing like it.
Then there is the fragrance of the heart when you first embrace someone you love or receive a special smile.
Some people just permeate a fragrance by their gentle spirit and smile.
Fragrance and memories walk hand in hand.
Sweetness to my soul.
Loving your shared stories of fragrance and memories.

Lovely posts on fragrance. Yes, some do bring back fond memories, don't they.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed how scents and fragrances bring back memories. Our brains obviously have a connection somewhere that includes memories of things like that. I think I shall focus on the aroma of different teas more than I did before reading your words.

That last photo has me imagining the sweet scent of baby powder!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about fragrance being such a large part of sense memory. It can instantly take you back to a place or a moment.
ReplyDeleteI see a Joey sighting -- always my favorites!
Now isn't that true how a scent can bring back a Memory so strong. What lovely Memories you are filled with my friend. xo
ReplyDeleteI'll take a piece of that apple pie~
ReplyDeleteI love the scent of baby,so innocent and sweet!
Whenever I brew Lapsang souchong, I'm instantly transported back to the time when I was a young girl scout singing around the camp fire. It is a pleasant memory!
ReplyDeleteI can smell that old fashioned rose (one of my favorites) all the way here in February!
ReplyDeleteI love the peaks into your home. I've seen it in person and it's marvelous. I'm still waiting on that post featuring your kitchen... ;^)
