The winter solstice has passed, but it still feels very much like we are in the deep middle of winter here in Cromwell.
There is snow sitting on the hills, the mornings are slow to begin, and I keep finding myself wanting things that feel grounding, warming, and a little more intentional.
A pot of tea is one of those things.
I’ll be honest, I have never really been a black tea drinker. But after Go Green, and making sure I was tasting everything before it went out onto the table, Earl Grey has started growing on me.
I genuinely didn’t think it would.
There is something about the black tea, with that little citrus lift of bergamot through it, that feels really good at this time of year. Warm and steady, but still with enough life in it to wake things up a little.
Maybe I am learning to meet my taste buds where they are at, instead of assuming I already know what I like.
Have you found yourself reaching for a tea you never thought you’d like? Or are you a classic through and through?
