Mmmm! I have had this twice in the past week and it will be a sad day when it is all gone! I will have to get some Southern Belle to see if it will fill the void of this tea once it is all gone… hmmm…

I will happily add the Southern Belle I have here to your package, I’m not a fan and would hate to see it go to waste!

really?! So exciting! I will finally have money at the end of the month to send you your package! My brother is going back to school and asked me to move in with him while I am “healing” and at least he will share the bills! YAY ME!

I really like Souther Belle. But you can only steep it the 4 minutes if having it hot. Any more and it seems to turn the yogurt. Haven’t tried it iced.
Glad your brother is helping you out. Hope you 2 get along. I couldn’t live with any of the my brothers. It was hard enough growing up with them.

I’m happy to send it to someone who will appreciate it. Don’t worry about sending my package any time soon, I’m happy to wait until finances are better. You’ve been so great about waiting for ours to improve, the least I could do is return the favor! Be sure to let me know your address as soon as you’re settled, though, so I can get your package of goodies on the way!

When I was moving from Tennessee to Canada to marry my wife, I lived with my brother for a few months in New York, about 20 minutes away from the US/Canadian border. He was wonderful and supportive and the very best brother a girl could ask for. He was the first person I came out to, and when I was hurting deeply over the rejection of my marriage by my older sister, he stood up for me. He never asked for rent or money of any kind, letting me save up for my big move. The heck of the thing is, as children we seriously tried to kill each other. We hated each other. Now he’s my best friend…and new loose tea convert! Funny how things work out.

Yeah, my brother’s awesome too. It saddens me to hear that there is someone in your life so unsupportive – you only have one family and life is too short to not care.

I will know on Tuesday if I have the place on the gorge.

Bio

I love to read and what goes better with reading than a hot cup of tea on rainy winter nights and an ice-cold tea on a hot summers day?

I used to drink copious amounts of coffee but that was just a joke, because I never drank enough water to flush out that one cup of coffee (32oz of water to 8oz of coffee?!?) and the variety in tea gives me what I need – it is not often I will drink the same thing twice.

Tea is defiantly more gentle on the waistline… Espcially since when I crave apple pie I can reach for a cup of “Mom’s Apple pie” or if I want caramel corn for my movie night, I just have to brew a cup of “Movie Night”…

I definitely have a preference for Oolongs, flavoured Blacks and a select number of flavoured Rooibos.

I love you tea, this can only get better as the extra weight continues to tapper off!

Oh, did I mention I am a reader, a childcare worker, a teacher, a friend, a sister and so many other things in a day?
