Green Teas for St. Patrick's Day

 I celebrated St. Patrick's Day by drinking green teas!


Green Tea #1: Green Tea Beauty Guaraná is a delicious fruity blend with a taste dragonfruit. 

Guaraná is a plant native to Brazil. The seeds are highly caffeinated, so this tea will boost your energy. A work friend purchased this tea when she went to Brazil to visit relatives. I was incredibly touched when she gave me the tea. She and her family ended up moving back to Brazil a few years ago. Every time I drink Beauty Guaraná, I think of her!


 
 
Green Tea #2: DavidsTea's Cherry Blossom Matcha latte


 
 
Green Tea #3: Dessert by Deb's Earl's Seville Orange Marmalade is a delicious cream Earl Grey green tea blend.

How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

Come Shop With Me at Winners

At a recent trip to Winners (a T.J. Maxx store in Canada), I spotted some cute teawares.


How cute are these Peter Rabbit teacups, mugs, and tiered trays?

I was also tempted by these Wizard of Oz mugs by Rae Dunn, , but my willpower prevailed!

Tea for the Lunar New Year 2024 - Year of the Dragon

 The Lunar New Year fell on Feb 10th this year.

 

 
 
I waited until last weekend to try the Harney & Sons Lunar New Year 2024 - Year of the Dragon tea which was a Christmas from a tea friend. 
 
The tin is gorgeous and featured information for people born in the Year of the Dragon (1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012).


The tea is a blend of black tea, toasted rice, coconut pieces, sesame seeds, and natural flavours (coconut, caramel).

I'm not a fan of the "silky" sachets, so I put the tea in a metal infuser.


 
 
My taste buds were wowed by the delicious coconut and caramel flavour with a faint toasted rice note.
