Here’s my seasonal tea round-up. Ceej and Melissa got me 4 gourmet teas from MECCA. It includes English Breakfast, Star of Persia, Ceeylon Orange Pekoe, and Snow Monkey Plum. Mom got me a variety of tea bags; English Breakfast, Perfectly Pear (white), Spiced Chai (black), and Salada Green tea. I now have two english breakfasts, so I’m going to try and compare the bag to the loose tea and see which tastes better. Then, I also got my supply from Adagio. Along with the tea mug, it also contained a small “guide to tea” book. It ran through some of the basics about teas, like how some differ, how they’re made, some history, and how to prepare the perfect cup. (which is really up to you)

There is another website by Adagio, which is called Tea Muse. It’s mainly a monthly newsletter, but they post the articles and have a large collection of stories. They also have a google map of tea locations at Tea Maps. Punch in your zip code and find all the restaurants near you.
