This morning a random guy parked his regular car in front of our house and rang the doorbell. I almost didn’t open because I figured he was just trying to sell me stuff. But nope! It was an express delivery, all the way from France! My tea exchange gift! How exciting!

The package was full of herbal teas in tea bags and one lose tea mix in a tin can (which I will re-use for sure). Everything smells absolutely delicious and I already tried a couple of them. The verbena, orange, and mint one was amazing! Even though I drank it when it was hot, it was light and refreshing.

Right now I’m sipping on the Infusion des Marmottes one and while I can’t quite read the label, I figured out that it has mint, chamomile, and hibiscus in it. Yum! The lose tea smells the strongest and I can’t wait to try it (probably later tonight, who am I kidding?!). The fennel one will be on the breakfast menu and I bet it will be great, too.

Thank you so much for the sweet package and the little postcard, Santa! It sure made my day! It’s so much fun to receive boxes of tea from far away on a random day! I will think of you many times throughout the winter whenever I feel like fancy tea. We have a new neighbor; I should offer her a cup and tell her we only drink tea imported from France... ;)

I thought it was funny that you felt challenged by my herbal tea preference, because my giftee had a very different taste, too. I hope I did just as well as you... Who knew there was this much diversity in tea flavors?! Ha!
