The tangy, bright and perfectly balanced flavors of Ceylon black tea are a great canvas for many flavor expressions. The very best Ceylons blend easily with flavors giving them excellent depth and complexity. Take our Almond Black, for example. Touch of raw almond aroma, plush mouthfeel reminiscent of creamy marzipan, with nutty sweetness upfront and balanced, clean astringency.
πΈπΆ In the symphony of leaves, one note resonates - it's Karen's special day! With each sip, let's steep in the essence of celebration, savoring the unique bouquet that is you. Happy Birth-tea! βπ° #EpicureanBirthdaySonnet

Good morning, crew! Anyone want to trade jasmine green teas? At this moment, I'd prefer Jasmine Yin Hao to Jasmine Phonenix Pearls. I have one card to swap with an interested party. TIA. :)
04:19 am
Another thought... at the current time, I'm going gong fu with my steeping at least once per non-workday-- I'm part-time. Any favorite Adagio/Masters teas you particularly enjoy that way? Of course I have opinions(!), but I wouldn't want to miss any superior options!!! LOL. Won't go with flavored teas though blended straight teas would be fine with me along with the more traditional single straight teas. Still, share any you're keen on. :) Open to your steeping protocols too. :) Another TIA. <3

Goood morning Twyla! Sent a crazy message...and YES, I'm pounding or heavy sipping Lots of Tea this morning. Lol

It is also eat something on a stick day (Gladys celebrated that last year, trying to stack tea cups on a stick, it didn't work in case you wondered). What are your favorite stick foods? My family likes corn dogs and moz cheese balls, I am more of a grilled veggies and tofu ( shish kabob ) or marshmallows over a fire person
06:09 am
Marshmallows are about the only thing I will joyfully eat on a stick, unless I can count corn-on-the-cob.

Well it does grow on a stalk, which is like a stick...

Almond tea is one of my favorites but I usually mix it with something like black cherry or vanilla.

How much tea is excessive to have?

Does this tea bring me joy? Yes, then its not too much.
10:31 am
Rissa, I could be wrong but I suspect most of us will tell you if you need to buy a second house to store it then perhaps you've gone a bit overboard. Otherwise every room in your house is fair game for storage.π€π«ππ«π€

Good morning everyone. It's going to be a cold and rainy day here, all day long, but I have a professional mani-pedi scheduled this afternoon, which I haven't treated myself to in a long time, so I'm looking forward to that. Otherwise it's laundry, cleaning, and packing for our upcoming vacation! I started the day with Huang Shan Mao Feng, three steeps so far, but it is good for four. I don't have any plain Almond tea but I have three blends with Almond as the starring player. They are Marlicia's Lemon Amoretto Cookies https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=200162, Julie's Classic Cinema https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=214402, and the one I have decided to start with, Scoops Troop blended by Susanne Sholander, from Stranger Things https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=155074. It's so ice creamy delicious! I hope you all have a wonderful day, especially Karen!

I'm not much of a fan of almonds in anything. I gave this a try and it has the same almond flavor of almond extract. Similar to marzipan. Not at all my favorite. Back to Wuyi Ensemble this morning. Yesterday I broke the portion packet into two.
10:37 am
The book in my picture today was my "beach read," but I'm home from the beach now and only finished one chapter. No matter how invested I am in a book, I'll usually spend an entire beach day simply watching the waves and the shorebirds! (When I'm not swimming or hunting for shells and sharks' teeth, that is.)
ποΈ What do you all like to do at the beach? If you read, what kind of book do you usually bring?
10:50 am
Love listening to the roar of the ocean and seagulls flying overhead..

My photo today is a shirt I got myself. In 2017 I drove to Clarksville, TN to view the eclipse with a good friend of mine who is an amateur photographer. He had 3 different cameras set up and got some great pics of the eclipse. After, I had a cabin in Land Between the Lakes for 3 nights. It was such a fun road trip. This year the eclipse is in our backyard. But we're going to drive about 45 mins north to be in the longest totality. If you've never seen an eclipse before I highly recommend it. It's hard to even put into words. What will you be doing during the eclipse April 8?
11:13 am
Toni, that is a really cool t-shirt. Unfortunately in Southern California will only get a partial eclipse, but I envy everyone that gets to see the totality. Everybody that does please take lots of pictures and share them.
11:37 am
Apparently Iβm in the 90% swath BUT lemme tell you how overcast the skies are in my section of the world during every single sky eventβ¦ π

For the last eclipse, I flew up to Oregon to see it in October. Absolutely amazing! This year will be viewing from my backyard in Southern Cal. Very cool Tee!

The sun is shining and it is Holy Thursday, this evening is the first part of the Easter Triduum. Lent will be at an end. My fatherβs family always had spinach and eggs for dinner. The tradition in Germany is to eat something green because those who were penitents were given a green branch to symbolize the end of Lent, which ended their penitence. My mother never mentioned eating anything green, so it was always a back and forth debate between my parents about what should be served for dinner every year. I finally concluded that my mother didnβt like spinach and didnβt want to make or eat it.
Give the gift of communiTEA! Near or far, friends and family can enjoy this unique experience together with a week-long trial. A perfect stocking stuffer, with sets of 5 available for only $9 each. Start spreading the tea-love today!
