when loose leaf
tea blends need pizzazz
splinter of
cinnamon
twirls in just right flavor dance;
taste bud pirouettes

I can attest to this: “splinter of
cinnamon…
taste bud pirouettes”
That’s how my mom prepared tea every day. A stick of cinnamon. Divine! Now, I drink my two cups of morning coffee with a dash of cinnamon. Divine! My taste buds pirouette. Thanks, this is lovely. xoxo

I love cinnamon! I’m a tea drinker too. My dream was to plant a “tea garden” full of spices to add to add tea. It’s still a dream, but how cool that would be if I lived where the rabbits didn’t eat everything I plant. LOL! 😀

Glad you are a tea drinker and like cinnamon. Yes, the rabbits (and the deer) love to nibble don’t they. The deer have nibbled my new witch hazel over the winter but it looks like it is designed to thrive despite that.

Excellent. Our front yard is a disaster… we will have to get some help reseeding. Last summer it was so hot. The grass struggled.
