Susan's Private Blend of Tea, ORGANIC Darjeeling Earl Grey with Cornflowers. This is the scented tea Susan carries into her quiet studio on Martha's Vineyard every morning before sunrise. Although more expensive than non-organic, Susan drinks it every day and prefers Organic for things she eats and drinks a lot of! 6-ounce bag, $29.99.
HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT CUP OF TEA: Put one rounded spoonful of loose tea into a tea ball, one of our mesh tea-infuser spoons, or into the mesh basket that comes with some of our tea mugs. Pour over freshly boiled water. Allow the tea to steep from 2 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Your choice of accompaniments include honey, sugar, lemon, half and half, or milk. Cookies are good too. A Tea Cake like Susan’s Milk Cake (from her new book A FINE ROMANCE) makes it a tea party. ♥
