Keep up!
BN and I are avid tea-drinkers; we generally like loose-leaf black and green teas from Allann Bros. Coffee and Tea Co, our local Starbucks-alternative. But, I tried a tea bag “Cocoa Spice” at a friends house and recently picked up a box at the grocery store… now we are hooked. It’s a low-caffeine tea, perfect for cozy evenings at home, and it has chocolate overtones and coffee undertones. With spices, sort of like chai.
The brand is Yogi tea, and there’s lots of spiritually-themed text on the outside of the box. On the tea-tag itself, there is a pithy maxim, like a fortune from a cookie. When we discovered this, BN read his aloud: “Enjoy the warmth and love of your soul.” Mine? “Keep up!” (Yeah, slacker! Pull your weight or we’re ditchin’ ya!)
As a fellow tea drinker, I’m sick of tea ball thingies and spoons that always spill out the sides…. I’m totally into this idea:

Hey, that’s a cool gadget! Definitely better than my spring-loaded tea ball – which I prefer because the tea sits down inside the cup, fully immersed in water. Also better than the mini-mesh-strainers we got from Allann Bros – those are easy to fill with tea but the tea sits above the water unless you fill the cup really full and I like to leave room for milk and sugar in my black tea.
