SIPDOWN!
I have emptied the tin. Yay! It’s all right, but not my favorite holiday-themed tea. And the tin is massive, and takes up too much tea cupboard real estate, so I am happy it can be removed. I am trying to think of a use for it, or if I should just put it in the recycling bin.
When I was a very young child, I swallowed an ice cube whole. It got stuck in my throat, and my mother had me drink hot tea to melt it away. That started a love affair with tea that has never abated.
I dabbled with Celestial Seasonings and other grocery store teabags for awhile, in my young and foolish days. But a few years ago, I received a tea of the month subscription from Adagio, and I found that there was a whole other world of tea out there that I had never experienced.
I love drinking tea, and I love the personal ceremony of making a glass or pot of tea for myself. It’s like a meditation.
