Bless Your Tart Tea
Sweet potato pie, minus the oven and the family opinions.
Every holiday table has one relative who needs a "bless your heart" and one pie everyone actually came for. This tea handles the second part. Bless Your Tart is a black tea blend that tastes like sweet potato pie: warm cinnamon, a little ginger, and that mellow, sweet-potato sweetness.
No crust to blind-bake, no mixer to wash. You need a mug, a strainer, and about four minutes. It's good on a slow holiday morning, good at the end of a long day, and very good while the in-laws debate the thermostat.
Add a splash of milk and it drinks like dessert. Add a dollop of whipped cream if the day has earned it.

How to Brew
Use 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water. Bring the water to a full rolling boil (212°F). Steep for 3–5 minutes. Pull it at the shorter end to drink it black; go longer if you're adding milk or sweetener. Makes approximately 11–14 cups per 1 oz bag.
No fancy gear needed. A strainer over a mug works fine.
Iced: Brew hot as directed, let it cool, and pour over ice. For a stronger iced version, use slightly less water so it doesn't go flat as the ice melts.
Storage Tips
Keep it in a cool, dry spot. Reseal the bag after each use and keep it away from heat and moisture.
