Tea & Chocolate

A friend who loves tea, just like me, and who adores chocolate, sent me all the ingredients for a tea and chocolate pairing.

I received a package in the mail. It was from Teresa. It was sent with a lovely note from her in which she expressed thankfulness for being able to share tea experiences with like-minded friends. The package also contained all teas and chocolates. Everything was so nicely organized and thoughtfully put together. I decided to set it aside to enjoy  during a quiet day. 

The tea selections are unique and varied; a real delight. Teresa labeled each one after individually packaging them in tea sacs. The teas are Victorian Earl Grey, Strawberry Mint Lavender, Shu Puerh Vanilla Mint, Pai Mu Tan, Vanilla Black, Maple Delight, O'Connoer's Cream, Bossa Nova, Kaluna Lime, Red Robe Oolong, and Darjeeling.

The chocolates are Lavender Chocolate, Mint Tea Truffle, Birch Cream Caramel, Honey Cinnamon Truffle, and Key Lime White Chocolate. 

Pretty little menus which instruct of the pairings were included. So was a worksheet that charts the teas and chocolates and can be marked as tastings occur.

The teacup is ready. It's time to begin. A perfect way to start the day. Can it get any better than tea and chocolate?

I feel most honored and thankful. Much appreciation goes to Teresa! The tea and chocolate tasting was wonderful!
