    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!

    After spending 48 hours more or less sleeping it´s time to take a break and enjoy some fresh ginger tea and “Weihnachtskekse”!

    After some quite hectic weeks a lazy sunday at home is the best thing to do! Spending the whole day reading the new Vivienne Westwood autobiography, having tea and testing all the different macarons from Macaroom. And I already found my favourite: “Beschwipste Walnuss” (“Tipsy Walnut”). Have a great sunday!
