Today I felt kind of lazy.....I made myself some Mountain Berry tea (Bais De Montagne) Fruit Infusion, Blend No.: 2130 from Tealeaves, Infusion Of Luxury in my Queen Victoria Collection tea set and served it hot wih some Danish cookies from Jacobsens Bakery Ltd, Denmark.
It was during one my family's trips to the UK that we went to London to tour the Buckingham Palace. It was a Thursday and I had wanted to witness the Change Of Guards Ceremony at Buckingham Palace. After the ceremony my family and I took a tour of the Royal Mews, the Queen's Gallery and the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace.

The berry tea has this ripe fruit aroma, somewhat wine-like, full and strong! To complement it's fruity taste, I took it with some Lindt & Sprungli's Lindor chocolate.

Hot English Breakfast tea is also very nice to enjoy with some Syrian pistachio 'maamouls' (cookies), especially at mid morning. When we were residing at Porto Arabia, I used to enjoy sipping hot tea served with Syrian pistachio maamouls while sitting at my balcony and watching the Sheikhs' beautiful boats and yachts sailing in and out of the marina below!
