After seeing Elise's post about Adagio Teas, I knew I had to buy some for Matt as a Valentine's Day gift.
I also knew that if the box arrived early, I would not be able to wait till the 14th to give it to him! (I'm terrible when it comes to gifts...I have no problem waiting for someone to give to me, but if I have something to give to them? The wait kills me!)
I held out as long as I could, finally breaking down Sunday afternoon.
A jasmine bloom and a red bloom; your 'tea' is actually a hand-rolled flower. It's just a little ball!
When activated by hot water, it opens to reveal a beautiful flower which then flavors your tea.
The finished product.
Pretty neat, isn't it? And Matt says it's a really nice Jasmine tea, too...
Blog Party#7 is coming up, and this month? It's all about Red and Hot! Your cocktail and appetizer entries are due this Thursday, 16 February...send them to thehappysorceress at gmail dot com, or leave a link in the comment section. Get planning, and hope to see you at the party!

- Eomeote#14: Poetic Injustice; Or 5th Grade Re-play
Blame it on Mrs. Schroeder's fifth grade class planner... The Ova and the Pussy-Toast went to sea In a beautiful Pea-Crisp boat. They took some Kroger-brand honey, And plenty of money Wrapped up in a 5-Euro note. There you go, dear Cook Sister:...
- Sugar High Friday 16: Recipe For Love
I almost missed this one! It was just Thursday night that I realized Sugar High Friday was upon us, and I had absolutely nothing planned. Crap. With very little time, and not much in the way of inspiration or planning, I tried to think about what exactly...
