I have become a tea aficionado. While on a recent trip to the Chicago area, I was introduced to a tea shop called TeaGschwendner. I am hooked. Some people become wine connoisseurs, but I think I am destined to be a tea lover.
While at the tea shop, I bought two different kinds of tea, an Indian Chai and Marzipan. Now, both of them are a delicious treat to come home to after school and sooth both my mind and soul. Brewing a cup of either one brings me back to center and allows me to be productive for most of the remainder of the day.
I was intrigued by many of the tea flavors that were available. I guess I didn't realize that I led such a sheltered life. Chocolate Chili Tea (you're kidding, right?), T-bear Gummi Bear (tastes like the real thing), Strawberry Pepper (really?), Sensual Affair (!), and, for those special nights, Mr. Ollivander's Magic Potion (conjures up all KINDS of images!). You should read the descriptions of some of these.
I have spent the evening polishing up my copper tea pot (since I have nothing else to do) and am enjoying a cup of Marzipan as we speak. Soon the teakettle will be whistling as much as the trains around here. Stop by and share a cup with me some time (as long as it's not the Sensual Affair!).

I am definitely intrigued by the chocolate one and the strawberry chili. We've come a long way from a Lipton tea bag with a dollop of honey, haven't we? (Though that's still near the top of the list...)
You have a copper teapot?
