Christmas Tea
It is Christmas morning, I'm in my kitchen deciding which tea to brew - my first tea of the day. My tea spirit is nudging me to a lovely tea I serendipitously discovered last month at a local farmers market in downtown Lincoln, CA. I reach for the Rose Marzipan black tea by Pittador Brews. The tea reminds me of an almond tart dessert laced with rose petals. It is a strong tea that is robust and makes a bold first impression. Today, brewing this tea brings back fond memories for me, I have visions of Christmas past, present and future. With each sip, my memory opens up (much like the tea itself) of Christmas' with my family, surrounded by warmth, laughter and traditional family recipes that are long gone with the passing of time and generational shifts within our family line. As I finish the pot of tea, I am filled with gratitude for the present. I am surrounded by the warmth of friends and family but also with new family traditions - new dishes and customs that have been birthed. My very last sip of this almond tart flavored tea with rose petals brings a smile to my face as I envision all the Christmas' to come...
Vision can come to us in different forms, for me, it is a picture in my mind. So, let me paint a picture of this special tea. Imagine a freshly baked tart with almond paste and a flaky crust. Now, imagine the delicious tart decorated with lovely red rose petals. Once you open the pouch of this tea, you are opening the door to your vision.
Brewing this tea is the equivalent of baking an almond tart. The aroma of sweet almond, flaky crust and roses fills the air as heat only intensifies the scent. I usually let the tea sit for about ten minutes or so and then add cream. Sipping this sweet blend is like drinking from the tart itself!
So, if you love tarts, almonds and roses, look no further than this lovely tea blend. It was assuredly bring a smile to your face and sweet visions to your heart.

Each tea has it's own special message, much like a fortune in a fortune cookie, there is a lovely surprise just waiting for you with each sip.
Smile sweetly at your tea,
