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.

They have a tea pot that IS an infuser as well. It strains through the bottom straight into your waiting mug. Its beautiful.

(and they have some darn good teas too... white blueberry is deliciousness)
