On the 1st Day of Christmas...

...this blogger gave to thee...

...a calendar made out of tea.

How to drink a year away...if you're a tea jenny/junkie.

I admit, I am not - yeah my friends will be horrified, my ex-boss would be hugely disappointed and my sisters, well, they already think I'm a weirdo, but the truth is, I don't drink a lot of tea, I've just never had a taste for it. I have been, since I was about 16, a coffee gal and as soon as the coffee version of this product is devised, I will be buying it instantly!

However, tea is one of those little rituals, one which most of the UK will partake in multiple times today, you may even be sitting with a cuppa as you read this post, enjoying a lull in the Christmas Day mayhem which always ensues

And it is this daily ritual which Hälssen and Lyon have adopted for their Tea Calendar.

Made from fine sheets of presses tea leaves, each day of the month, 365 days of the year, you're treated to a new variety or blend of tea, which you rip from the calendar, place in you cup ( I'd say a proper teacup for a bit of added ceremony and gravitas) and cover with water and allow to dissolve into that days particular brew.

The Hälssen and Lyon Tea Calendar unfortunately isn't available to buy, it was a promotional tool designed, handmade and sent to selected business partners of the company. Lucky ducks!

I hope you've all have/had a wonderful Christmas Day, it's past one for me and I'm off to bed.

Merry Christmas! Part two tomorrow...
