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...
