it's not really poetry, but it's pretty

Celestial Seasonings is my new favourite obsession. And not just because they make the best cherry tea I've ever tasted (seriously, do you have *any* idea how hard it is to find *good* cherry tea? Hard.) So, that is generally wonderful, and it just adds to my glee that they have it both as caffienated and non-caffienated, because while I am a fan of staying awake till I fall over from lack of shut-eye, sometimes I want to have a cup of tea and get to sleep at a decent time (rarely, but it happens.) so much fangirling on that front as well.

However, the real love for Celestial Seasonings comes from their Tea Selector. Brilliant!

(I shall now stop babbling and return to my essay reading. Seriously.)

My mom buys CS all the time. It's got pretty good raspberry tea too. :D I love tea. :D

I bought it once when I was like 13, loved it and promptly forgot all about it. Then I saw it in the supermarket today and was like, I remember this! And bought it. And now I'm in love.

Tea should be a fandom. *grins*

I agree. "Oh you like rasberry too! *friends*"

"I SHIP CHERRY/DECAF LOL OMG."

hee.

And you can have 'ship wars between people who like Milk/Tea and people who like Sugar/Tea and the OT3'ers who like Milk/Tea/Sugar.

And keruffles about whether classic fandom (tea leaves) or new fandom (tea bags) is better.

And lots of meta about whether or not you can like tea AND coffee.

...I've put too much thought into this. (I also need more tea icons. Or coffee icons. Hm.)

LOL, yes. Not to mention the wars between Iced and Hot tea lovers.

...I need more too :D

Oooh, yes! And let's not forget whether green tea or black tea is best (while white tea fans bemoan their minority status!)

You are both insane, and I ♥ you madly.

I would be more impressed if I actually liked tea. Woe.

Have you ever tried chai tea, or white tea? You might like them. Chai is particularly good - tastes like cinnamon and vanilla. Literally. Yum!

No, I haven't, but I've smelled some of your chai. I might try it one day, if you promise it doesn't taste like boiled water with sugar and insane amounts of vanilla. Because vanilla gets kinda gross.
