To a Tea

I got my order from Adagio Tea today. They sent me both a pumpkin spice sample and a little book on tea with my order. I was a little confused with the tea pot, and it would really work, but it was great! I made one of the teas, though I think I used too much tea, or steeped it a little too long. It is a bit tart like red zinger like tea. There is a piece of the tea pot I have no clue what to do with though, and I was confused about removing the bottom for the leaves to fall out! :P The steeped fruit and tea was so fragrant that I emptied it into my sink to make my kitchen smell nice. Looking forward to trying out my other samples out in the future.

Yeah, I might try the foxtrot blend or the rooibos jasmine later.

If you want to order, send me your email and I will see if I can send you the $5 coupon. Be sure it is an address you won't mind using when you order (they have to match it to your email for the coupon in the order).

The nice thing is that the samples are $2-4 each, and make 10 cups. They come in nice metal tins, which I bet are reusable if you ger more of the same blend.

I think I might try some of their green tea...the genmai cha (http://www.adagio.com/green/genmai_cha.html?SID=0cca7160142762e7114c8f115be23553) one looks interesting.

What's your last name so I can send the gift certificate?

more about the ingenuiTea (http://www.adagio.com/teaware/ingenuiTEA_teapot.html?SID=0cca7160142762e7114c8f115be23553)

I also realize the bottom does not come off this one. I might ave been mixing it up with another one I saw somewhere. I still don't know what the other peice it, but it is not in the picture or even mentioned, though I am thinking maybe it is a coaster for a glass cup?
