Welcome back to Teatime Tuesday! This post is another short one, because my tea was on the simple side today.

For my choice of tea, I sipped a cup of Laoshan Village Chai from Verdant. This is probably my favorite chai right now (and I’ve guzzled quite a few chai blends over the years). This particular blend is heavy on the ginger, my all-time favorite spice, and it has some sweet ingredients as well—like goji berries, elderberry, and vanilla bean. Yeah, it’s just as delicious as it sounds.

This time around, I paired the tea with an English muffin (cinnamon raisin!) from Wolferman’s, once again courtesy of my grandmother in Chicago. Needless to say, the combined smell of spices in the muffin and the tea was pretty intoxicating. (And as a bonus, my empty mug smelled exactly like the gingerbread cookie dough my grandmother from Arizona makes each Christmas.)

As always, thanks for joining me for tea!
