The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 4 December 2018 2 Comments

So I forgot the Tuesday Teapot on the scent of the day, again, but here's a tea to lemm: Kusmi's Tsarevna 2018 (same tea, new tin). "Once upon a time, under the Russian empire, the tsar would have his daughters ("the tsarevnas") travel all the way to the Winter Palace to celebrate the holiday season in Saint Petersburg, home of Kusmi Tea. This year Kusmi Tea’s most iconic Christmas Tea, Tsarevna, comes in a Limited-edition tin, elegantly decorated with arabesques inspired by the masterpieces of Russian jewelry. The warm scents of christmas spices are softened by delicate notes of orange peel, vanilla, and almond. The blend is enhanced by a touch of liquorice, adding a naturally sweet taste. A festive delight!" At the moment, if you buy the 200g tin ($31.90), you get a free scented candle, although the size and the scent of the candle are a mystery. It's red, though.

    “Have them travel all the way” from WHERE? Yeah, they had other palaces in places near St. P., but…the ad copy makes it sound like the trip was unreasonable. Probably easier to get around northern Russia in the winter (sledge, sleighs, troikas) than during mid season. 🙂

      It is an odd sentence in several ways.
