subtle tea

One of the teas I picked up in Montreal is mulberry-scented ("mure sauvage", but I'm not at all convinced there's a significant difference between wild and domestic mulberry). I'd been happily drinking the orange and the jasmine dragon (green), and ignoring the mulberry.

I just made a cup of the mulberry. My verdict is "eh". It's tea, the mulberry is nothing special. It might work better black, but I prefer my black teas with milk and sugar.

sign of summer

A blackberry just burst on my tongue.

Yes, it's a shipped-from-somewhere-South berry, but basically ripe, and sweet and juicy. And I have several more in a bowl, and the rest of a small container I'm saving for breakfast.

(Sure, it's cool and damp this evening, but I have blackberries. Also hot chocolate, because it is that kind of night. Do I contradict myself? Very well...)
