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.)
I'm glad tyou liked that "Figgy Pudding and Pear" tea so much! I've never had any tea with fig or pear in it, so this one would be doubly unusual for me.
