December 10 Sipdown Challenge Prompt – Human Right’s Day: drink a fair trade or ethically sourced tea

Sipdown

This is on my Christmas list so hopefully it will be back on shelf soon! I had forgotten the steeping instructions (boiling water for up to 90 seconds) and went with boiling water for 45 seconds. I made two small pots today by combining three steeps together and the tra had excellent color and flavor. It neither looked washed out nor tasted weak.

This is just a great all around breakfast tea to keep on hand and it is good any time, not just for breakfast.

I asked Santa for this one, too.

D has been reading up on the Yule Cat, who eats all the naughty kiddies who don’t wear the socks they got for Christmas … would that apply to the naughty Steepies who don’t drink what they get for Christmas?

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
