A small creek crosses under the Blue Ridge Parkway just as you approach the Tanbark Tunnel from the south. But if you pull over and park, you can see this little cascade on the opposite side of the Parkway before it goes under the road.

Monk's Blend
Last year my son Russ gave me "Loose Tea of the Month." I received a package of 3 bags of different loose teas each month. This is one of my favorites...Monk's Blend.
I like it because its scent is flowery, and it is pretty light. I just put a spoonful of honey in it.
Hi Robin, what kind of tea do you drink every morning? I admit to liking coffee, but have switched to decaf these days. May try some caffeinated teas in the morning.
Today I'm having a black tea called Apple Spice. I decided to have weak tea, but with full flavor, I'm using half a teaspoon but steeping it the full amount of time called for in directions. I'm impatient and usually just leave it a minute, but today a full 3 minutes was called for, so done. It is darker, for one thing, and tastes pretty good. Not like a teabag tea called apple cinnamon at all!
I just googled this tea to see what kind of tea it is. It sounds delicious. I make a pot of tea every morning. We may have to try this some time. Yum!

ReplyDeleteI make a pot of English Breakfast tea. We buy loose-leaf organic tea at our local co-op. We like it nice and strong!
ReplyDeleteI still prefer it weak. May change as I experiment with flavors more.
