It’s always fun to see who will send the first Christmas card to our home each year, and this year, I was delighted that it was a tea company! The cute card from Japanese Greentea Co. featured the Peanuts gang, perennial favorites, and inside was…
A sample of loose tea!
This was their Issaku premium green tea, and I couldn’t wait to try it. I haven’t tried any new green tea in a while, and I figured it would be a nice change from the mint- and spice-flavored teas I’ve been indulging in. This tea had that wonderfully rich “brothy” taste, with almost a buttery finish, and as a longtime fan of good green tea, I enjoyed it very much.
And as if a tea card and sample weren’t gifts enough, I was delighted to learn that Japanese Greentea Co. included Tea With Friends on a list of blogs for those who love Japanese tea. How lovely! If you’d like to learn more about the offerings from Japanese Greentea Co., click here.
Green tea is so appropriate for the first day of December! Especially in your pretty teacup. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour teacup is certainly cheerful! Although I'm not a fan of green tea (it makes me think of grass clippings), this one makes a really pretty-colored tea. That's very nice that the Japanese Greentea Co. put this blog on their list of Japanese-tea-lovers!
ReplyDeleteNow hold on a minute. Seriously, girlfriend, you get Christmas cards from tea companies?
ReplyDeleteHow awesome is that!???
Congrats being mentioned on their blog list - it is only fitting. Your recommendations is something so many of us read and appreciate. Except this ridiculous mint tea stuff, haha. (Giggling in an evil-yes-I-am-drinking-a-pot-of-strong-coffee-today-non-tea-style!)
Hugs.
ps Have you ever done a post showing all your different Christmas teacups together? How many do you own?
That last picture is beautiful! It would make a pretty card.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty teacup!
ReplyDeleteThe green tea looks so pretty in that cup.
