I think this is the first tea of which I bought a whole pound, and that was at hubby’s insistence.
I should be in bed by now, but I am somewhat hyped up because a series of events led me to start my girls studying the beatniks, coffee bars, and Kerouac! Once we got started, naturally we decided tp put together our own Beat Poetry set for next writer’s group and youngest is going to provide the background music, though I may throw in hubby’s old Gibson Ripper for the bass lines. LOL! So all this has me too excited to sleep, and I thought a cuppa Vanilla Comoro was just the thing to help me wind down tonight, along with Traffic and The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys for some bass line inspiration!
This is wonderfully comforting tea. I can scarcely believe that there are only about two ounces of the pound left, but three of us drink it so there it goes!
This benefits from the addition of a little more leaf than you would usually put in order to offset the fact that it is decaf, but the vanilla caramel flavor is so full bodied that it won’t hurt to make it by usual black tea parameters. Great cuppa! Drinking it sans additions, and it is still sweet and satisfying.

I love the Beats! I love Diane DiPrima. She gets less attention than Kerouac and Ginsberg but is a heart stopping poet. (but I completely love Kerouac and Ginsberg too!! Esp Kerouac. He blew the doors off conventional prose imo!)
When we went to California we made a pilgrimage to City Lights bookstore just to try and soak in the place where so many of the Beats read and worked. NY is chock full too :)
We read Di Prima today! I have hubby’s Ripper bass out and youngest downloaded several bongo drum apps to supply some mood music. LOL! We can hardly wait to get this all put together for our writer’s group entertainment. I think we will definitely have to do something for tea party day, too!
I wish I could be there! I would snap instead of clap like in all the old films with Beatnik characters ;)
I like everything about this post. :)
LOL! First poem is written. Now we just have to get the hang of Beat style improv!
