deird1I'm experimenting with tea.
I ran out, last week. So I dutifully headed down to the tea shop to stock up.
Usually, I'll buy one black tea I've had before (and know I like) and one that I've never tried. This time, I decided to be different, and buy a non-black tea I've never tried: Roses.
Yep. Roses. It smelled like pot-pourri; it tastes like... well, kind of like what you'd expect mushy petals in hot water to taste like. (Not good, in fact.)
I could always throw out my drinkable pot-pourri and return to familiar old black tea... but instead, I decided to experiment.
I am now drinking black tea (flavoured with a slight hint of vanilla) combined with a lot of roses. And with milk in it.
It's actually pretty nice...
