  But… WHERE IS THE TEA?!? I do not care about chocolate or little biscuits.

  This is AWESOME. If you don’t think so, you’re simply very daft.

  I love KnockKnock Stuff, and I got one of their self-inked stamps, and I was drinking tea, so I thought I’d use it.

  This is totally adorable and I love it. :)

  I’ve been drinking a lot of this for the past week, especially with Jim’s family visiting. My sister-in-law seems to really like it. :) One of my favorite Harney & Sons teas.

  I picture something along these lines when I take a vitamin out of the bottle each morning. I imagine the other vitamins cheering or jealous of the pick for the day. /nerdtastic /neurosis

  Ahem. Truly gourmet tea does NOT come in bags. This has been your tea snob post for today. :)

  I like pouring your tea, lifting
  the heavy pot, and tipping it up,
  so the fragrant liquid streams in your china cup.

  Or when you’re away, or at work,
  I like to think of your cupped hands as you sip,
  as you sip, of the faint half-smile of your lips.

  I like the questions – sugar? – milk? –
  and the answers I don’t know by heart, yet,
  for I see your soul in your eyes, and I forget.

  Jasmine, Gunpowder, Assam, Earl Grey, Ceylon,
  I love tea’s names. Which tea would you like? I say
  but it’s any tea for you, please, any time of day,

  as the women harvest the slopes
  for the sweetest leaves, on Mount Wu-Yi,
  and I am your lover, smitten, straining your tea.

  Here’s a blast from the past! This is the Christmas 2008 episode of STeaP, filmed with Dianah, during which Dianah and I both tell dismally non-Christmas-y tales and drink some earl grey.

  “The first cup moistens my lips and throat. The second cup breaks my loneliness. The third cup searches my barren entrail but to find therein some thousand volumes of odd ideographs. The fourth cup raises a slight perspiration - all the wrongs of life pass out through my pores. At the fifth cup I am purified. The sixth cup calls me to the realms of the immortals. The seventh cup - ah, but I could take no more! I only feel the breath of the cool wind that raises in my sleeves. Where is Elysium? Let me ride on this sweet breeze and waft away thither. (Lu Tung)”

  I have a passion for tea.
  Take a sip with me.
