Charles Dicken's Delight Tea

A warm, spiced, and grounding blend—rich with depth, tinged with hardship, but carrying the steady warmth of resilience. This is a tea of fog-drenched streets, candlelit writing desks, and the quiet hum of industry, where every cup holds both struggle and comfort.

Ingredients:

• Red Rooibos – Deep, smooth, and subtly sweet, like the warmth of a good fireside tale.
• Hawthorn Berries – Bittersweet and enduring, like love and loss intertwined.
• Nettle – Strengthening and unassuming, the taste of perseverance.
• Cinnamon Chips – A warm flicker, like lamplight in a dimly lit alley.
• Clove – Dark and spiced, with a hint of mystery lurking beneath the surface.

Brew Upon Your Favor:

1. Heat water to 205°F (96°C) – hot and strong, like a working-class London morning.
2. Steep for 7–10 minutes, allowing the warmth and spice to settle into something familiar.
3. Strain and sip—honey adds an air of indulgence, but the tea holds its own as the drink of both paupers and poets.
4. Optional: Drink from a chipped mug, reading by candlelight, feeling the weight of both hardship and hope.

Tasty Notes:

First Sip: A rich, smooth rooibos entrance, comforting but substantial.
Mid-Palate: Hawthorn and nettle add a quiet resilience, earthy and steady.
Finish: Cinnamon and clove linger—spiced, warm, and nostalgic, like old London streets.

Best Enjoyed When:

• Reading A Christmas Carol and feeling the chill of winter give way to warmth.
• Watching the world bustle past, knowing that every person carries their own tale.
• Understanding that even in hardship, there is always a light glowing in the window.

A tea for the dreamers, the survivors, and those who believe in second chances.
