Drinking the winter blend tea from @rakkasantea.bsky.social on a very grey foggy misty morning here, and I think it's my new favorite. (At least until I order another different tea from them. 😅)
It's perfect for this kind of weather.

NEW: Burmese Breakfast, black tea from Myanmar
This is tea with a story, just in time for the holidays. It's an unexpected tea, born of necessity after a year of civil conflict and a devastating earthquake in March. 🧵

Amba Thieves Tea comes from a small, organic farm in Uva, Sri Lanka. The name "Thieves Tea" comes from the days when workers were prohibited by plantation owners from taking tea from the fields — when it was meant to be sold as a luxury item. So they would sneak out raw leaves and make it at home.
