Celebrating Fall yesterday when a knock on the door opened a portal to a whole new "Tea Experience"
The package containing a square box in autumnal colours and inside a hand-painted ceramic lidded mug with an interior ceramic infuser...a small round spoon proclaiming to produce the perfect cup of tea and a separate bag containing loose peach flavoured tea...so chunky and aromatic it could have been potpourri. Good things arrive in boxes :) Thank you, Shirley! Loved the photos, too.
Introducing "Teavana".
With shops scattered as near as Greenwood and as far flung as Key West. "Teavana" is the last word in tea experiences.
Immediately took a break to try my first cup.
A rounded scoop of the fragrant tea placed in the inner ceramic liner (infuser) nested in the mug (the infuser fits the entire cup)...followed by a tablespoon of honey as a sweetener and a cup of boiling water. I replaced the lid and let it steep for 5 minutes. The room was immediately filled with the smell of fresh warm peaches. At the end of five minutes I removed the infuser and took a sip of possibly the finest tea I have ever tasted.
I am completely sold and immediately went online to see if they shipped the loose tea.
(THEY DO!)
Sat out early this morning, enjoying a cup al fresco with Tucker...and it would seem that the yellow jackets are quite keen on the fresh peach scent as well.
So anyway...here is a link
