Drinking the winter blend tea from @rakkasantea.bsky.social on a very grey foggy misty morning here, and I think it's my new favorite. (At least until I order another different tea from them. πŸ˜…)

It's perfect for this kind of weather.

Due to the ongoing strife and uncertainty in Myanmar this year, our partners north of Mandalay, along with several other growers in the region, were unable to produce enough raw leaf to meet demand. So they combined their harvests to create this new black tea breakfast blend.
