My husband brought me home some chamomile with limeflower. Delicious, and if I have a cup it's better than Valium.

My son bought me a canister of tea from Teavana in the mall. Way too expensive but it was sweet of him and the tea is really, really good.

Valium is good, but tea is better!

All I can do
is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
but it's not sane

All I can do
is read a book to stay awake
it rips my life away
but it's a great escape

Depends which country I'm in.

Here in the US the answer is a definite no - hot tea is piss weak and cold tea - seriously???

In the UK though - put a brew on, I'm parched.

What is this "tea" of which you speak?

Oh, yes....I remember now--tea is the drink that wishes it were coffee.

One of my attorneys brought me a box of these back from a business trip to China years ago. I had never seen them before, and thought they were the coolest things ever. (He was kind of like, "Mmkay. It's just tea, y'know." :lol: ) Now they're fairly common here, and you can even get clear glass teapots so you can see the flower "bloom".
