I saw this neat discussion on Russian Tea and I thought I’d give it a go with some strawberry jam in my Kusmi Russian Morning No. 24. Here’s the link to the discussion.

I do so love the few Kusmi black teas I’ve had the opportunity to try. This black tea is nice and strong, perfect for a bold wake-up tea. Upon seeing this discussion I thought of the strawberry jam sitting in my fridge, just waiting to be used up.
I brewed up my tea normally, then added a dollop of jam and swirled it around. It’s actual quite nice! The boldness of the black is ever so slightly diminished but not in a bad way, and the jam flavour lends a sweetness that’s different than adding sugar. I’m not one for overly sweet and the jam seems to be great here and not too sweet at all.
I’ve never heard of adding jam before! That sounds like a great way to drink a breakfast tea.
Totally buying some Saskatoon Berry jam to try that out.
Ah Saskatoon Berry jam!
Well, it’s the best one.
