Rompope

This is one of my favorite flavored black teas from the Spice Merchant in Wichita, Kansas. As you will notice, I usually use loose-leaf tea, which I prefer, but because this tealeaf is so fine, I often put it into sealable tea bags. My mini hair straightener works perfect for sealing the bags.

The word Rompope is derived from rompon, which is the Spanish version of eggnog that came to Mexico and utilizes rum as a main ingredient along with eggs, milk and vanilla. This tea version made with black tea, natural and artificial flavors, is full bodied with a hint of creaminess. It brews quickly due to its fine leaf. This is one tea that I do like to add a little milk and sometimes a drop of honey.

This cute little tea pot is a nesting, two-piece set which brews enough for one.
