I have a fully-stocked tea pantry. Does that stop me from trying out some new tea brands? Why, no it doesn’t.

Full Moon Tea Company, a new name to me, is owned by Katie McDonald. I’ve been following her on Threads for a while now, and I’ve enjoyed her witty banter and her passion for tea. Realizing I wanted to support her better, I decided to make a quick order to try out their Smoky Mountains Cowboy Chai! 

This blend perfectly combines my love for strong black tea and the comforting spices of a chai. What’s not to love? I rarely add milk or cream to my tea because I only have 1% milk at home, and I don’t believe it enhances the tea’s flavor; instead, it dilutes it. So, I prefer my tea straight black, and WOW, this is exceptional. The Lapsang Souchong adds that delightful smokiness that I love.

The tea blend may not be the most spring-like, but it perfectly complemented the cinnamon goodness of the French Toast scones from King Arthur Baking. I absolutely love these quick mixes from KA.

Colorful chocolate Easter eggs are scattered among the mix-and-match combo of teacup, plate, and teapot. A single, boldly-colored egg sits in my silver egg cup. A small bouquet of flowers completes the setting.

How are YOU using tea this Easter weekend?
