So I buckled in the Bookstore yesterday while surveying their rack of Republic of Tea cans. It’s not my fault! They knew exactly where to aim to hit me full-on.

Delicious rose petals.

It was a mind-blowingly pink container, turns out to be a special Valentine’s edition tea, and it said: Rose Petal Tea.

Hot damn! Rose petals! In tea! Finally! I’ve wanted this forever. They read my mind!* Add a little milk and sugar and you have … you have … tea with rosewater! I’ll take six cans!

Ahem. Yes. Well. The only trouble is that it’s full-leaf, and I find myself, tragically, sans tea bomb.** So for a few days I will have to merely dream about it and hope it fulfills my expectations, until I can either buy a tea bomb or convince 妹 or Mom to send me one.

Ahh. Roses.

*Took them long enough, the buggers.

**I consider myself a bit of a tea snob, but I can never remember what the hell you call them things that you put the loose-leaf in and then stick in your teacup. I think they’re called ‘infusers.’ However, this doesn’t matter, because 妹 invented the term ‘tea bomb,’ which more than suffices.

If you happen to have coffee filters around, you can improvise a tea bomb. Just saying.

I've been looking for ways to improvise, but unfortunately for this case, there is no coffee maker in my house. I don't drink it, and Liz only gets it from Starbucks sometimes.

But it's a good suggestion. ;)
