January Sipdown Prompt – A Tea That Goes with Snow

I think I have had this tea for five or six years. I don’t know why I pass over mint teas most of the time when I poke through the stash to see what I want. It just happens. I usually enjoy it when I drink it, and this was no exception. Considering the age, it was shocking how good it still tasted. And Ashman did not object to the chocolate flavor and chips in this!

I should have had it Saturday when we saw four confirmed snowflakes fall, though not at the same time. Ashman saw one in the backyard, I saw one on the patio, and daughter who lives with us saw two on the way to work! Exciting! Ha ha!

I wanted something caffeine free to drink tonight and knew it was high time to sip down this one, and also I had two Bissinger’s peppermint chocolates to eat that I thought would be perfect with this tea. It was perfect, oh so very perfect. This was not a sipdown but the next time I drink it will be, and now I have to go buy some sort of chocolate and peppermint treat to go with it. To have it otherwise would be wrong.

On that note, does anyone else think York Peppermint Patties just aint what they used to be? My mom loved them and I got some a few months ago and they were just…less delicious than I remembered. Less minty and less chocolatey both somehow.
