Fortnum & Mason Sachet Advent Day 7

I saved this one to drink last night but ended up crashing at 9:30 pm before I could drink it. Then I woke up at 12:30 am and couldn’t go back to sleep. After finding a video about letterlocking (seriously, look it up!) and then looking for mire resources about the subject, I finally went to bed tea-less at 3:30 am.

So tonight I get two herbal sachets! This one was first, and I liked it a lot considering I am not a great lover of herbal teas. They call it apricot but to honest I mostly taste light rose hips and honey. The lavender was really mild to me. It didn’t scream with rose hip tartness because the honey was nicely done. I would gladly drink it again, but I don’t think I would go out of my way to acquire more. I had it sans additions.

Ooh, letterlocking is so neat!

I am fascinated with it and want to try it out! I love the letter of Queen Elizabeth I to Richard III.

Did you see the demo of Dumbledore’s will? I don’t know if they analyzed it or if they actually designed it based on the historical models.

Oh, man … kid applications! (If I can find one easy enough!)

Kelmishka

Oooh, I’m looking up both those now!

Gmathis: I will send you an easy fold if you like! Easy to do and popular in the 1780’s, no wax needed but can be used, so of course I use it! It isn’t secure letter locking but a nice and easy of a sort I have smiled before.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
