After I got a nice nap on Thanksgiving afternoon, I sat down with my laptop and started weeding through all the Black Friday promotions in my in-box. I didn't see anything I couldn't live without, so I started shopping for some new Christmas teas, and it dawned on me that I hadn't ordered from Upton Tea Imports in a while. Can you guess what kind of tea I got?
The package arrived on Monday, so by lunchtime, I was tearing into the box!
I used to enjoy reading the Upton Tea Quarterly, and the new one is in color! And has recipes! Boy, have I been missing out.
The tin of tea I got was this Figgy Pudding & Pear Holiday Black Tea, and oh my, is it divine! As soon as I sniffed it and saw all those lovely bits of fig and pear and spices, I knew this would be a winner, and it was. This is very much a dessert tea, and I am probably going to polish it off very quickly. Also, $13 for a whole tin of tea strikes me as a very good value these days. You can check it out here if you're interested (no affiliation; just a happy customer).
And I'm glad I used the oversized teacup in this Spode tea-for-one set, because this tea is that good!
(And if you happen to be on Instagram, I'm featuring a Teacup of the Day every day this month. You can find me there at @authorangelamcrae.)
