Recently, my mother bought me a thoughtful and much appreciated gift. She came home with two variety pack boxes of tea, each box of a different sort. It was exciting to receive, like being given the magical item one needs to venture forth on some long fated quest, only it would be far less useful in vanquishing vicious foes than an unbreakable sword. Dragons, on the other hand, it might soothe (if one could convince them to drink it). At the very least, it would be the perfect reward at the end of the journey. But I digress.
Above is the Bigelow pack of six assorted teas. I like Bigelow's tea. As a matter of fact, I more than like Bigelow's tea. I adore it. I associate it with a comforting warmth pooling in the belly- with favorite mugs and satisfaction.
Little known fact: Bigelow owns the only American tea farm.
I am looking forward to sampling all of them, although I have so far only tried one.
Soon to come: my adventures with Plantation Mint.
Kaya,
ReplyDeleteFirst, I must say that I love your writing style- it's so enjoyable and interesting. I never knew tea could be such a discussed topic! What would you say is your absolute all-time favorite flavor? If you were abadonded on an island, what one flavor of tea would you bring along?
Just curious...
