Tea: Mandarin Green

Music: Roxy Music, "Avalon"

Time: Night.

Wow, two straight days of tea posts in a tea blog. I must be slipping.

But this tea ... wow.

Mandarin Green, which arrived yesterday as part of a tea-themed care package from friend/collaborator/undefinable kindred spirit Seánan Forbes (which package also included a really cool electric teakettle), has leaped to a high spot on the favorites list.

It's loaded (but not overloaded) with orange flavor, which really suits this time of year. I'm no synesthete, but this tea is full of candles.

And today, I've filled and refilled myself with the glow. It's made for some giddy moments (picture a caffeinated cartoon bunny on a pogo stick) ... but after seven cups by my (lost) count, I'm hitting crash point.

Tomorrow's another day, though. And there's still more Mandarin Orange.

(Boing, boing, boing ...)
