  • Cosy Sunday

    Waking up to some lovely white snow, it´s cold outside and the best time to cuddle right back in!

    I bought some salad today, which wouldn´t be that exciting, if the salad wasn´t still rooting! Something I missed at the shop, but it was quite a pleasant surprise. My lovely new roommate is not only looking white pretty, it is also supposed to grow again after beeing harvested. Plants don´t really like me, therefore I´m curious what is going to happen – at least it will taste great!

    I had to stock up my favourite tea (“figs & roses“) and while browsing for some herbal teas I found this little bag of rosebuds at Haas & Haas. Until about a week ago I would have thought it´s potpourri, but I know better now: “boutons de roses” is made from whole, dehydrated rose blossoms and is supposed to have quite some health benefits. And it´s pretty!

    The tea smells really strong (it still reminds me of potpourri), but it tastes a little bit like a fruity, soft white tea.

    If you´re in Vienna you have to visit Haas & Haas, it is located behind St. Stephens cathedral and has the most amazing selection of teas and lots of other delicious food!
