Yay, more National Parks!
This one is a green tea with blueberry, currant, cornflower, and oatstraw. I admit, I don’t think I’ve ever had oatstraw? Dry scent is deliciously blueberry with a bit of a toasty grain aroma that makes me think of Corn Nuts. Is that the oatstraw? (shrugs)
Yum yum yum yum yum! Sorry, I’m really liking the blueberry here. It reminds me of those dried blueberries that I used to eat in Blueberry Morning cereal (do they still make that…?) or even blueberry jam. Very syrupy sweet, concentrated, and rich with none of the slight tartness of a fresh blueberry. The green base is extremely mellow, just subtly dry grassy and smooth. I’m not sure about the oatstraw? I can taste something that could be oat, but that could just be part of the green tea itself. Anyway, there’s a bit of hay-oat thing going on.
So really happy with this one! It makes me so happy when these teas are yummy, because the packaging is so pretty that it would be a shame if they were all duds…

What a brave soul you are! What age range are your scouts?
Our Ambassador Girl Scouts are in their Junior Year of high school and have been planning this since 2019.
I also have a Daisy troop. Lifetime GS myself!
Both ends of the age spectrum! Sal—oot!
True!
I thought I was done with my GS Volunteering but then my own daughter wanted to try. So I’m starting all over again.
Fifth and sixth grade is my volunteer teaching wheelhouse and weekly gig, but for short spurts, it’s fun to change to a different age. I tend to trend down instead of up. Any way to turn a tea party into a badge opportunity?
Well our Daisy troop is using their Cookie Money on Build A Bear…. sooooo Teddy Bear Tea Party is in my calendar. :-)
Yellowstone wow!
The Gros Ventre camp ground at Grand Teton has a daily moose sighting at sunset. Just ask at check in for the campsite numbers and follow the crowd of photographers.
Thanks for the tip! In all my trips up north, I’ve only seen a moose once. In the dark, off a highway!
Oh, and there are a few elk that hangout in the grassy areas near the visitor center in Mammoth. Kinda weird to see elk that close to humans and not really care. I’d be happy to chat about either park if you had questions I might be able to answer, I live about 1.5 hrs from the east gate of Yellowstone.
Such a beautiful area of the country. I’ve been out there twice. Once backpacking for 2 weeks and once touristing (Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier). I’m looking forward to going back.
