Nutella Honeybush Tea Latte—
Made a blend of Adagio Tea’s hazelnut honeybush and chocolate honeybush and then added half a tablespoon of nutella to the milk that I frothed and then poured in. Delicious!
AMEN
Green tea is a delicate matter. Don’t just leave the bag sitting in there forever. Don’t just scald it with boiling water. If you buy fine matcha, treat it like royalty. Bitter green tea has no place in my reality. Green tea is light, it is gorgeous, it is grassy and sweet and perfect in every way, especially with a half-spoon of wildflower honey. The scent of properly brewed green tea (or that puff of loose matcha powder when you open the tin) is what God’s backyard smells like. Don’t be sacrilegious.
If you buy crap wannabe green tea, well then that’s not my fault.

I am shocked that I still have followers after probably a year of inactivity on this blog. I am back now and have more free time than I used to. What would you like to see out of this blog?
finally got my hands on a St. Basil’s Cathedral teapot! :)
Tried a chocolate chai latte for the first time ever last night. Amazzzzing!
