Beth am gael paned o
de, cariadon?
(Roughly pronounced, depending on region: Bith am guy-l
pan-ed o day, carry-at-on).
Oh, sorry. Shall we
have a cup of tea, dears?
The other day when I stopped in my local tea shop to pick up
some holiday pressies (and a few ounces of Russian Caravan – review coming soon!)
I decided to pick up something a bit different in the basic/bagged/black tea
area as well, since my usual morning Ty-phoo reserve is getting a little
low. They had on offer a few boxes of
Paned Cymreig (pronounced Pan-ed Coom-rig - literally Welsh Cup but translated
as Welsh Brew).
Paned is a good, basic black tea blend (of African and
Indian teas it says on the box). It’s
stouter than a typical English Breakfast (Ha!
No surprise there!) but is still a nice, mild blend. As with most black blends, this will give you
a nice start to the morning and can go for afternoon or dinner just as
well. Not at all a fussy tea, Paned
Cymreig is essentially Welsh – robust, cheering, and welcoming.
I had mine with a bit of Walker’s shortbread and later with
a cup of thick beef-vegetable stew for lunch.
Anything with cheese and/or leeks would do, too. Maybe even a taffy or two?
I’n graddio ei 8.95/10.
Oh, and Nadolig Llawen :)
