| Dear Tea ~ Don't steep~a~me waiting! Well, now, if you think I have a thing just for coffee.....think again! My passion for the unending varieties and combinations of teas is just as intense! What a playground for the senses. It is said that certain smells are able to stimulate memory like nothing else. The tickle your nostrils enjoy with a whiff of freshly brewed tea is like none other...you can almost taste the aroma! Black, red, brown, green....caffienated or decaf....herbals: grass, root, bark, blossom...Oh! lest we not forget ....Spice! It soothes and comforts, frolicks through your daydreams, can help you sleep or perk you up, eases so many things...........OMG! There is a lifes work just in teas alone! Long before I even knew what "herbology" was, I was combining this and that from the yard or the woods to fix a constant leak in Major Pains' rump or calm a sour bellyache...just like my grandmother and my mother did before me. I never thought fiddle-dee-sticks about it being anything scientific! LOL! Sure, I knew it was part of our 'way' and all but, it just felt more like second nature and common sense to me......eh, and, sometimes, a little trial and error, too! Oh, shoot! To make a long story a short one....I just 'matured' into the finer points of tea - dom! There is always something to fit my mood and/or needs. There are many herbal blends I love and Chai is a favorite, too.  It is a fascinating trip traveling the tea road! Allow me to give you a peek?
