I considered doing a different post for today, just to shake things up a little, but then I thought, why mess with tradition? (Even traditions that have only existed a few months, and have little to no importance!) So with that said, on to teatime.

You may have noticed, dear reader, that I’ve been obsessed with scones lately. Well, today I’m eating scones again. But these are different scones! They are, in fact, glazed. Yes, the difference is dramatic indeed. (Or, well, not.) They’re cranberry orange scones, though, so there’s that!

I did decide they were different enough to avoid my usual addition of jam. It seemed like that combo would be too sweet, even for me. And I have to say, they were pretty darn tasty on their own.

As for my tea, I decided to pick something that would match the tart flavor of the scones. So I steeped up a cup of Ginger and Orange black tea from Lupicia. I haven’t had a gingery tea like this one in a while, so it tastes a bit like coming home. I used to drink ginger-flavored teas almost constantly in the winter. This particular blend turned out to be a great complement to my sugary scones.

Thanks for joining me for tea, once again! I hope to follow up with more about my trip to England later in the week.
