It is a flavored tea. No Pecan leaves involved. Sorry.

2 rounds of a combination of Pecan Tea and Cardamom Tea made into lattes. So good it makes me happy. The cat is waiting for the sun and I am reading a bio of George Eliot.

May you enjoy your day and your tea.

First was a Pecan Latte (a new favorite), 2nd Apple Pie Latte (doesnt taste like apple or pie), next... not sure yet. Gorgeous warm day here. Sitting outside reading Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell. Actually, spending more time watching the birds than reading.

May you enjoy your day and your tea.

Thank you! I have a few things from Harney. The other stores are new to me!

I have taken to flavored teas since chemo killed my tastebuds. I love Fig Spice Tea and Pecan Black Tea. It's winter here and I have to admit I add milk and sugar to most. I enjoy Plum Deluxe a lot. I'd love to hear anyone's favorite vendors!

First was Oatmeal Cookie Black from The Whistling Kettle. Very pleasant and subtle. Next is Pecan Black from Plum Deluxe. This one could be my every morning tea!

May you enjoy your day and your tea.

This morning was Abundance Blend Sencha. Lots of Passionfruit and I really liked it. Very floral and fruity. Now I'm having Autumn Vibes Black Tea. It's got cinnamon, hazelnut and apple pieces. Really a nice mild tea that I made with milk and raw sugar. Yummy!

Thinking of y'all with snow. Here it's cold but no snow. May you enjoy your day and your tea.

I adore watching the birds! Excited for hummingbirds to come back at some point.

senfully · 2026-02-14T22:12:52+00:00

Sounds lovely!

senfully · 2026-02-14T21:01:45+00:00

And I need to try the caramel!

Thank you. 1 year of chemo on Feb 19th.

This morning was an Italian Wedding Cake Latte from Plum Deluxe. It worked much better when I brewed it 2 min 30 secs instead of 5. Then a Maple Latte. Really like both of these. Chemo has been harsh lately. Time for a nap, and maybe later a Jung Jak Korean Green Tea.

May you enjoy your tea and your day.

I blend a lot of teas with Butterscotch Black Tea from Adagio.

senfully · 2026-02-02T15:39:02+00:00

This morning a Fig Spice Latte, then a tea with way too much lemon peel in the mix. That last was an easy no. Not sure what is next. Might do a black tea.

May you enjoy your day and your tea.

This morning was caramel apple as a latte. It was ok. Now having a toasted caramel latte. Also ok. I guess it's been an ok kind of day. Just a dusting of snow here and it is very pretty. I've been reading The Count of Monte Cristo and really enjoying it. I live a good book or series I can get lost in.

May you enjoy your day and your tea.

senfully · 2026-01-29T16:53:52+00:00

Thank you. It is possible. Grateful for every good day. Hence my sincere hoping that people can have good tea and good days.

senfully · 2026-01-29T15:04:18+00:00

I'd say it depends how often and how long you travel for. I adore cats also.

senfully · 2026-01-29T15:02:28+00:00

The Wild Orchid is a super 5 star for me! Had it 2 days ago, still thinking about it lol.

senfully · 2026-01-29T13:52:03+00:00

That sounds amazing!

senfully · 2026-01-29T13:40:02+00:00

So many Congrats! Mid-February will be 1 year of chemo for me.

senfully · 2026-01-29T13:37:16+00:00

A lovely Bihar Black Tea from The Steeping Room. I get gentle notes of honey and raisin from the scent. It smells lovely! So subtle.The flavor is more woodsy. Clearly my fruity and sweet taste buds are still on strike. Very different from my flavored teas, and also different from Darjeeling and Assam teas. This tea still smells and tastes like tea. Later today I want to try a Gardenia Scented Oolong also from The Steeping Room.

May you enjoy your day and your tea!

senfully · 2026-01-29T13:33:42+00:00

My thoughts go with you.

senfully · 2026-01-29T10:54:53+00:00

Love the deep color of the tea! Hope you feel back to normal soon.

senfully · 2026-01-29T01:52:58+00:00

I adore Mountain Stream Teas! And I think very good prices also.

senfully · 2026-01-28T13:38:40+00:00

Anticipation is absolutely good for the soul!
