Welcome back to Teatime Tuesday!

This week, I wanted to talk about a special teatime I had during a recent visit with friends. We got cupcakes from my favorite cupcake shop, Sprinkles–including a special flavor in honor of their tenth anniversary. These sprinkle-flavored cupcakes definitely lived up to their name: they were covered in tiny rainbow sprinkles, and even the cake was spotted with rainbow colors. The creamy vanilla frosting went well with the other flavors.

For my tea, I had an old favorite: the decaffeinated vanilla black tea from Harney & Sons (which is sometimes called Vanilla Comoro). It’s the perfect tea to have with sweet desserts, because the sugar in the cupcake highlights the vanilla flavor in the tea. Plus, it’s nice to have an option that’s lower in caffeine, for drinking later in the day.

As always, thanks for joining me for tea!
