Teatime Tuesday #20

Welcome back to Teatime Tuesday!

This week, I visited Paradise Bakery and ordered one of their Peach Pecan Crunch muffins for takeout. It was warm and sweet; I especially enjoyed the peach flavor and the crunchy bits.

For my tea selection, I chose Vanilla Citrus Spice black tea from Verdant. The ingredients include orange peel, ginger, cinnamon, coriander, and vanilla bean. It’s a sweet spicy tea, with a certain savory undertone almost like chicken broth (and a comforting blend for this time of year in Arizona, since just about everyone I know is suffering from allergies, including me).

Also, I went to the Tucson Book Festival last weekend, which was fantastic! I attended lots of panels with authors like Gail Carriger, Elizabeth Bear, Scott Lynch, Ally Carter, and Jenny Han. I also went out to dinner with my friend and her family (my very generous hosts for the weekend) to a restaurant called Food for Ascension Café, where I shared a pot of delicious oolong tea. So here’s a bonus picture from that particular outing:

Thanks for joining me for tea!
