A Cuppa Warnemunder Morgensonne

Say what?

Yeah, that is one of the teas that I picked up abroad.

For some reason, I had it in my head that it translated to the Warnemunde Morning Blend...

From what little German I know, I should have guessed something different...it seems German words are whatever the sound most like in English...hence Morgen = Morning (I had that part down) and Sonne = You guessed it, SUN.

Anyhoodle - this local Warnemunde find isn't your standard morning breakfast black tea blend...


Nope, it is a fruity, colorful, textured, herbal (I'm guessing here, since I can't read anything on the bag) variety.

So it was quite to my delight when I opened the little bag and found a mixture of tea that actually looks more like a trail mix than tea!

But my first morning back Stateside I brewed myself a little cuppa (in my uber chic, uber functional, Danish designed mug, that cost more than I'd like to admit...but that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and no, you can't borrow) - and sipped on this cranberry colored, tangy treat!

Pirate's Booty

So...last week I was sailing the Seven Seas Countries.

Along the way I did my best to bring home some relics from each stop. Mostly, I was on the hunt for TEA!!!

I brought the most tea home from England.

I got the priciest tea in Denmark.

I was delighted by the fragrance of tea from Germany.

I bought a boring pack of Lipton in Finland, however in varieties we don't have in the USA

and I found Royal Tea in Sweden.

I also bought two tea containers, and two overpriced, but absolutely fabulous, mugs.

So next time you are over, be sure to ask me to brew you a hot cuppa, I have plenty to go around.

Birthday Lovin'

Some of you know I turned the fabulous age of 29 at the end of last month...

A few of you showered me with some serious Tea goodies...

One of you, knowing my other love, gave me this Juicy lil bobble:
