What a delightful time! I’m pretty narrow on my tea likes (Assam, chai mostly), but I occasionally find a more adventurous flavor combo that I enjoy. The names of those teas are so much fun! I’m at the Oregon Coast right now for a spring trip and there are bluebells blooming everywhere. It is lovely.

I feel the same way with tea - whenever I branch out, I’m never sure it will be a success. 😆 Those bluebells sound wonderful, hope you’re having a great time!

You and your cousin must have had a wonderful day! Thank you for sharing. I feel the same about green tea. When I have been feeling as though I need to branch out from the black tea blends and opt for the green tea, the box seems to be pushed slowly to the back of my cupboard. I really need to mail it to my sister who prefers green tea. Today we are enjoying much needed rain showers. To me there is nothing better than the sound of the pattering drops and the rolling thunder. It is a good day to start my newly purchased book, "The Joyce Girl" by Annabel Abbs. It is historical fiction based on the life of Lucia Joyce, the daughter of James Joyce, and the paramour of Samuel Beckett. She is a world-class dancer in Paris who struggles to find her own identity as an artist in her own right. She is emotionally and mentally fragile and eventually becomes a patient of Carl Jung. What a time in history she lived surrounded by geniuses who would shape the literary and psychology worlds. Many blessings and safe travels to you on your Bookish Princess adventures.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who struggles with green tea! Rainy days are so cozy, especially for reading. 😊 That sounds like such an interesting book!

Emma , you and Becky got me into trouble 🤑 ... As I watched your shopping 🛍️ finds , I ordered from Bingley teas ! The Emma blend green tea was delightful because I, too, struggle with 💚 tea ☕! It was such a delight to shop online and support them. I had to order Captain Wentworth as well ☺️. I love the version with Alan Rickman as Wentworth ❣️

Speaking of the white tea , I visited the Charleston Tea Plantation (only one in north America I believe ) and they teach you about the white, green and black and take you on a tour of the fields and... Very informative for us tea drinkers and clears up some of the mysteries ☺️. ☕
