Hot Tea on a Cold Christmas Evening
Hullo, tea readers;
Oh how you have missed me, no doubt. I pity you all. stirring your big cups of tea, scanning this tea blog in the hopes of seeing my cartooned face smiling back at you with a bit of good information about the best type of tea. How disappointed you must have been!
I’m afraid I have been a bit busy this past month with some sort of labour dispute among my serfs. Nothing I can’t handle–or rather, that my men can’t handle. (I try not to dirty my hands with even knowing the details of such distasteful matters). But it has resulted me in having to hole up in my fortified tower here in there with just a few barrels of my favorite loose leaf teas and couple of thick volumes of my life story.
But now that you’re boringly American holiday has passed, like my little uprising, we can focus on my favorite holiday — Christmas.
Yes, I so love sitting up late on Christmas Eve with a delicious cup of Amanzi Black Tea. It gives me a bit of a caffeine boost to help me stay up, waiting to catch Santa’s arrival. Somehow I always seem to miss him, but I think this year I shall see what he is bringing me. I do so need a new riding crop!
So as the weather gets cold, and you find yourself drinking even more hot tea than usual, wrapping your hands around the teacup for warmth, I hope you’ll think of the long journey that tea took to get there to you, and how special a good cup of tea is on a cold night. And perhaps you’ll leave a cup of tea out for old Saint Nick himself. He surely must be cold up there!
I will offer him one myself, But I have to catch him first…
