I'd love to attend a tea tasting, and apparently you and I have almost identical taste in teas: Assam, Darjeeling -- really, I just want a good black tea, not too strong. I don't like green teas b/c they taste too grassy to me :) Can't wait for that scone recipe! They look perfect. And as I recall from reading Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Glamis is Macbeth's family name, so perhaps the castle is haunted b/c of that violent man and his deeds? Interesting! I didn't know there was a real Glamis.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-26166822251212917842014-04-02T09:10:00.776-04:002014-04-02T09:10:00.776-04:00Oh, My!

My grandparents had basic Lipton tea and I was raised to drink it black.<br /><br />Now I like Earl Grey though I've tried a few other kinds...and I can still drink it black. Coffee? I have to kill the taste of coffee with sugar and creamer but tea...if it is hot tea, no sugar. In the summer, sweet tea, cold...Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-79056038733945748592014-03-29T12:03:13.132-04:002014-03-29T12:03:13.132-04:00Sometimes a really strong tea can be bitter and up...Sometimes a really strong tea can be bitter and upset my stomach. Then I put some milk in, and maybe sugar. I am really pleasantly surprised that the Scottish morn tea is very smooth, even when I let it steep the full 5 minutes. I really love it. The Tower of London tea was good, but I'm not so much into flavorings. A whole new world of tea would open up if I was! I laughed at your "tea wimp" comment!

Harney and Sons teas are the best :). What did you think of Tower of London? It's one of my favorites. I love your Scottish tea cup for your Scottish Morn tea. I was looking in the Harney catalog recently and saw Scottish morn, and my first thought was, that's probably way to strong for me! Maybe I've gotten too into the blends that I'm becoming a tea wimp.

Did you know that you are a No Reply when you leave a comment? I also can't sign up to follow you. If you are using Google Plus that is probably why. It keeps changing your settings to No Reply and screws up your follower button. Many of us don't use it at all anymore. It is hard to grow your blog using it. If you want to fix the No Reply here is the tutorial to do that....<br />http://morefromyourblog.com/no-reply-blogger-how-to-fix-this/ <br />It is really nice meeting you and I will poke around your blog a bit more when I am not so involved in New Baby Girl Land here!;>) Blessings- DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-89691227768393718242014-03-26T20:10:19.872-04:002014-03-26T20:10:19.872-04:00I love this store.

That Scottish tea is tempting...we went to Scotland in 2003 and one of our main goals was to have high tea. It happened once but not at the venue (Willow Tea Room) I had hoped for. And you have given me a good idea. I love that you are drinking the Scot tea in a thistle teacup. I should try to find a teacup with "heather" on it.

Scotland is a place I just have to go to someday. I am looking forward to the scone recipe, I haven't made any in so long! It's so cold here today in Brooklyn that it would be a perfect treat this afternoon!

Same with coffee, I prefer it black, or on occasion, with real cream, but again, no other flavoring.<br /><br />I do not think we have any tea shops quite like yours close to home, but I think a visit to Seattle or Portland, OR ( close to me ) would yield a tea shop or two. I am thinking about a day rip to such a shop with some granddaughters, and very soon too.<br /><br />The haunted castle sounds interesting and a little bit spooky.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-8690140924132973202014-03-26T00:58:06.260-04:002014-03-26T00:58:06.260-04:00Such a delightful visit to your blog, Deborah!

Another favorite of mine is Formosa Oolong which I first tried while enjoying afternoon tea on a dreary (but perfect!) day at the Ritz Carlton. I'd love to hear more about the haunted castle and the princess teas were just too darling!
