Drinking tea was a past time long before I began writing cozy mysteries that take place at my sleuth’s business establishment, Daisy’s Tea Garden. When I was a child we lived with my grandfather and aunt. I remember nights in front of a black and white tv/radio/phonograph combination. My mom would brew tea.

This week I tried Plum Deluxe’s Currant Conversation Oolong Tea.
Currant Conversation Oolong Tea
Since my next Daisy’s Tea Garden mystery release is Murder With Oolong Tea, I’m especially interested in oolong flavors. Oolong is neither a Green tea or a black tea. It has characteristics of its own depending how it’s oxidized. The taste can also depend on where it’s grown. Its origins are in China and Taiwan. This Currant Conversation Oolong Tea has more of a woodsy taste than fruit taste. The smoothness comes from vanilla. It is organic. I used 1 teaspoon for each cup with boiling water, steeping it for about 4 minutes.
I hope you can relax and enjoy a time-out for a cuppa tea!
Tidbit about MURDER WITH OOLONG TEA
A spring house on a farm is almost a thing of the past.
But not for Daisy Swanson. A spring house could save her life!
