Return to Oz...Well, sort of ☕️

in Cinnamon Cup Coffee8 months ago (edited)

I've been back home for about two weeks now. Even though my vacation lasted a week, I swear sometimes it feels like it never happened. Thank goodness for cellphone cameras and their ability to capture amazing moments!

Since I've been home, I've been focused on finding a job, which nowadays is pretty much impossible. Thank goodness for the support system I have built over the years. A couple of days ago I really needed a friendly shoulder and a hot cup of tea. Which is why I headed back to my favourite place - LiMon! Told you I'd go back!

It was a rainy day. Weather seemed to be mirroring my inner emotional state as I was grieving the fact that I was no longer in Lisbon. My friend Tatiana suggested we try the облепиха (seaberry) tea. I have never tried it before but if there was even a sliver of hope for it warming my heart and erasing the sorrow I felt, then you can rest assured I'd at least taste it.

We started sensing the aroma of the tea way before it reached our table. But when it did, both Tatiana and I examined the ingredients. We noticed there were the sea buckthorns, a slice of orange, some mint and cinnamon. We added some honey and took a sip. Let me tell you, it was a magical, paradise fusion of flavours. And with each sip, we could clearly taste a different ingredient which made it all the more fascinating to me.

We had also ordered two mille-feuilles which to be honest with you, we had completely forgotten about. Partially because when we start talking, we lose track of time and surroundings. But then again, we did spend quite a bit admiring our seaberry tea. It undoubtedly touched every fiber of my being and soon enough, the melancholy I felt was starting to fade. "What a treat today turned out to be?!" - I thought to myself.

Thank you so much 🤗

We call them custard slices, although must admit those looks super tasty and light in confection. Mixed tea interesting to taste one day.

You are absolutely right - it's very light, which I was surprised about 😊 As for the tea, I definitely recommend it if you ever get the chance!

It feels nice to enjoy the food when you have a good friend to cherish you. May you have your goals achieved. Happy Monday.

Oh, absolutely! It recharges me for weeks ahead 😊 Thanks and happy Monday to you too!

I'm intrigued by that tea as I'm imagining all the lovely flavours:)
Yeah, there were some good posts, heh-13.jpg

It was definitely something else! I'm not much of a tea drinker myself but this one really hit the spot 😊 If ever given the chance, you should try it 😊

When a place offers so many delicious things, without a doubt you have to return to that place to continue enjoying everything delicious it has to offer. Those mille-feuilles look enchantingly exquisite, I can imagine their wonderful flavor.

Thanks for sharing.☕
Happy new week.

Thank you so much @rinconpoetico7 😊 We have to find and seize the beauty in this weird world we live in. And the fact that a tiny paradise blessed us with the tastiest treats and tea is just the cherry on top.
