Tantalizing Tea

A trip to a tea shop is always fun. There is always an enthusiastic clerk behind the counter who opens bags of loose tea with names like: Serenity, Naughty Vicar, Queen of Hearts, and Earl Claus

...and she tells you to smell it and she smells it at the same time and you both share a Wowwww hmmmmm! together.

I got my old stand by and tried a new tea this time. Tea. Always a treat.

"Tea does the fancy aid,
Repress those vapours which
the head invade,
And keeps that palace of the Soul
serene.

-Edmund Waller
