Latest Discoveries

Wanting a herbal tea sampler I headed over to David's Tea, but ended up with White Tiger instead. This is a wonderful white peony tea that is flavoured with blueberries and pomegranate to give you "a powerful blast of antioxidants," as the David's Tea List suggests. It's also one of the prettiest teas I have seen with it's mixture of green leaves and little blue flowers; there are even dried blueberries in the mixture. The taste is rich and pleasant so that you don't need to add in any sugar, unless you've scalded the tea leaves with too hot hot water (which I did do yesterday :-S)

My mother is definitely an enabler of my sweet tooth. One of her favourite places to do groceries is Adonis on Sources, and what did she come back with? A nice bag of Biscotti Thins that are quite addictive, even says so on the package. These are like biscotti chips and are made with almonds and dried cranberries and are just so yummy. Just ate a bowlful along with a cup of White Tiger and I can say that the combination is a good one! A very very very good one!
