It is a blend of green tea from China; black teas from India, Ceylon and China; natural flavor; sunflower, jasmine and rose blossoms.
I don't normally do loose teas but then remembered my Secret Santa gave me this cup with built in diffuser so I used it for the very first time this morning.
The tea is very light and has a subtle flavor of blossoms. Toast with labaneh, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of zaatar is a traditional breakfast item on this side of the world.
To complete the Arabian theme, I finished this crocheted pillow last night embellished with cross-stitch. A quick and easy project.
Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage. ~Catherine Douzel
Wishing you all a terrific Tuesday. Peace & blessings, Tammy

Hi Tammy,
The tea sounds delicious with the rose blossom in and glad that you could make use of the tea diffuser.
I love the sweet pillow you crocheted and the colours go so well together.
Happy week

Such a pretty pillow, your fingers must fly to work so quickly.
Tea and toast,your version looks delicious.
Hi Tammy,
The tea sounds wonderful. And I don't know what labenah and zaatar is. Is it a type of cheese and spice? It looks good, whatever it is.:)I love your arabian pillow.
Have a great Tuesday.
Blessings,
Sonya
It sure looks like you are enjoying Spring Break. Good for you! Your tea looks wonderful. I was drinking green tea with mango yesterday. Not bad, but the green tea with pineapple and grapefruit is still my favorite!
Your pillow is adorable. Can't wait to see what you craft today!!!
Have a great day, dear!!

I'm off to look up labaneh. I've never been a big hot tea drinker (Earl Grey is about as crazy as I get). Maybe I'll try some. Have a good week. Jan

I had to google 'lebaneh' as it looks like something I would enjoy...a type of yoghurt cheese..YUM! The Arabian Night tea sounds very exotic...interesting blend!
I love your little crochet pillow...a job well done!
Love,

darling post and your tea sounds very good! love your little tea diffuser!! happy tea day!! xx
Hi Tammy...Wow, I would have thought the tea was dark and strong. Was surprised to read it was light and flowery! The rest of the breakfast looks YUMMY. I love yogurt cheese and love zatar and olive oil so that would be a great breakfast for me. Hope your day today is splendid. Here, in New England, it's dark, dreary, and rainy...have to make our own sunshine today! Susan
What a wonderful way to start the day. I love a good tea to start the morning.
Your little pillow is so cute. I'm attempting to get back to some crocheting. My sister gave me an old book with many interesting patterns. Now just to find the time.
Easy for you perhaps!, but not so much for these inexperienced hands!! :o)) Very lovely project, and very yummy slice of bread! you taste the most unusual food combinations; I'm so jealous!!
have a lovely day!
I've never had tea from loose leaves but I'll bet it was delicious. Your pillow is lovely. :) Hope you're having a wonderful week.
I love that pillow Tammy! So pretty! You always make me hungry when you show your tasty breakfasts. The tea sounds yummy too, but it's that toast that is making me wish I was in your kitchen this morning!!!!
have a beautiful day in your corner of the world.

I can smell the lovely tea from here..What a sweet pillow...enjoy your day..
I love labaneh....haven't had it in a very long time. Kinda hard to find in Arkansas/ha
Thanks for telling me your story...that is so exciting.
WHAT A DARLING PILLOW, AND LOVELY STITCHING. YOUR TEA SOUNDS SO DELICIOUS. I WOULD LOVE A BITE OF YOUR TOAST, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PICK UP DIFFERENT KINDS OF BREADS IN THE STORE, BREAD....I LOVE...
HAVE A NICE DAY. RAINED ALL DAY, AND THE SUN JUST CAME OUT. :) RIZZI
Your tea sounds delicious. I'd love to try your toast. The quote you chose fit your post perfectly...it's so true.
Your pillow is darling. Your tea sounds yummy and relaxing.
Hope your weeks is great...
Love you pillows. I love to make pillows too.
I enjoy a good cup of tea, but don't use loose tea for the same reason. Have never seen a cup like that, but it is a great idea. Your tea sounds refreshing. I would love to try your toast. Is it spread with a type of cheese. And the spice you mentioned sounds exotic. Thanks for sharing customs from where you live.
Wow! What a name! I was hoping though that the tea came from any Arab country. :D

I'm a hot cocoa drinker...but that tea sure does sound soothing. Imagine your breakfast instead of poptarts....yours is much better for you! I love the quiet colors and theme of your pillow....lovely.
