This is my actual cupboard.
And these are all the teas laid out neatly in all their glory for all to behold.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say: we have a tea problem. Nobody in their right mind - unless they own a tea shop - needs that many tea offerings. We have green tea, black tea, herbal tea, loose-leaf tea, Indian tea, Canadian tea, Boulder tea, and British tea.
I think our family is single-handedly responsible for keeping the tea industry afloat in the U.S. Your welcome. Because of our vast purchasing power, we have lowered the cost for the general public. You know it's bad when America doesn't have enough tea options and you have to start ordering your tea online from Canada.
Our trip to Victoria, British Columbia last year is responsible for this new trend. We happened upon a tea shop during our day trip to this most quaint of Canadian towns, and accidentally found ourselves in the oldest tea establishment in the province. It was love at first sip. Both of us were hooked. Now we are forced to order our over-priced tea online once a month. I guess it's a slightly cheaper habit than say, being wine connoisseurs.
Please know, whenever you come visit us, you might want to spend some quality time previewing the photos on this blog first so you won't be overwhelmed when we offer you a friendly, warm cuppa tea.
