A few weeks ago I posted about a beautiful necklace that I wanted to purchase from Churchmouse Yarn & Teas. As long as I was placing an order I had to try some of their tea. I ordered a package of Blend No. 512, Churchmouse Winter.

Per the site, Winter is a blend of Assam, Ceylon and China Yunnan teas with a hint of summer fruit.

Winter is available in either sachets (15 for $16.50) or loose leave in 4oz for $14.00.

When I first opened the package I smelled the smoky Yunnan and a fruity smell.   Once brewed I got more of the black tea.  The tea itself was lovely – a great strong, full bodied brew with just a hint of sweetness, perfect for an afternoon cup. I highly encourage you to add a cookie to the snack while you’re at it. I will definitely be keeping this in my collection.
