Christmas Tea Time

Christmas time is beginning to make an appearance in my home.
From the papercut tree sitting on the tea table
to a special cup of holiday tea.
Of course my favorite cookie, a Cherry Wink, sitting on the side.


If you have read along with me for a long time you will know
I usually drink my tea straight up.
No blends, sugar, or milk in my cup.
Then rules are meant to be broken.
Last year a friend mentioned this tea and it sounded just like a cup of
Christmas time.  The only place I found it was on Amazon.com;
but they were sold out.  A couple weeks ago I decided to check my
Wish List on Amazon and it was now available.
It is The Noel from Compagnie Coloniale in France.
It is flavored with almonds and cherries and smells amazing.
Well when I tasted it the flavor spoke well of the smell.
For a blended tea it is quite good.
A special treat, dessert tea for the holiday season.

It's beginning to look (and taste) a lot like Christmas! Love your photo with the gold beads.

Marilyn, like you, I'm not usually one for flavored teas, but that one does sound good. I like some brands of Earl Grey, but some taste like pine cleaner! You'll find I'm all about tea! :D
