I recently celebrated my birthday several weeks ago, the morning of my special day I received some divine inspiration for my morning cup of tea. I went to my tea inventory and was guided to blend two of my favorite teas together. The two teas I blended were a Bees Knees Puerh and a Hazelnut Black tea, the results were scrumptious! The Bees Knees tea is a honey flavored Puerh and the flavor of honey really enhances the hazelnut black tea. I don't know what inspired me to combine these two teas together but I definitely will enjoy this blend for many more tea times to come. I’ve always adored honey and it has a long and lustrous history that dates back to biblical times. Bees create honey by collecting the nectar from various flowers to create a lovely golden substance that is both sweet and has a long shelf life - it can also be used to preserve food, as well. So, it’s only fitting that honey is an ideal ingredient and flavor for tea leaves. The morning I blended the teas together I tried to use an even amount of each tea to try and get a good balance of flavor. The result was a cup of tea that smelled a bit like Nutella only with a more intense note of sweetness from the honey and earthy hazelnut aromas.
What a great idea, thanks for the tip! And happy belated birthday!!
