You know those T-shirts that say “My parents went to Daytona Beach and all they brought me back was this lousy T-shirt”? Well, my humans did a road trip to the TeaGschwendner shop in Raleigh, NC, (not a record for how far they’ve driven to visit a tea shop, but not bad) and all they brought me back were 6 teas to try. Wait … that’s good … that’s really, really good. Hurray for my humans! Take that, all you T-shirt wearing kids out there.
Enough gloating.
The tea tastings are going to be so exciting: an Assam, a Chinese black, a Chinese green, a Sumatran Oolong, an Indian white, and just for fun a flavored oolong tea called “Bossa Nova” (I’m twitching to that beat already) that one of their regular customers recommended.
Lots of fun ahead for this little teapot, his humans, and all you seekers of fine tea out there!
By the way, since they wouldn’t take me along on the trip (some lame excuse like “You might get chipped or broken”), I got even by PhotoShopping myself into the photos they took of the store. Hee!
Look at this line-up of everything a tea lover could want, and those cutey-pie teapots on display:
Be still, my beating teapot heart:
No, those aren’t safety deposit boxes in a bank. What they hold is more precious than gold. They hold very special teas — and their all mine… Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! (maniacal laugh):
Look at those cute little teapots, not to mention the tea cups, bottles of honey, tea accessories, and big tins of teas. I think I’m in love with that red bee hive teapot:
Leaving the store with my bag of teas:
Finally, me at home surrounded by this bevy of teas. Ah! Eat your heart out, Hugh! Each of these beauties deserves a centerfold (really me, this time — no PhotoShopping necessary):
Disclaimer: My humans bought all teas shown here, except the Bossa Nova tea, from the company named. Regardless, all ratings of the teas and any opinions concerning them are always strictly objective.
Very nice, especially the photoshopping.
ReplyDelete(One thing I will note,the Bossa Nova is an oolong, just FYI. Not to be corrective.)
Thanks, Griffin. I always appreciate the correx. Should have read the label more carefully. Have corrected the article text. Have a great tea day!
ReplyDeleteDear LYT, I think the little red-headed teapot winked at you. Woo hoo.
