The Best Thing About Fall...

Sure, sure, the beautiful leaves and the crisp air - all nice things, but the best thing about fall is .... a nice cup of tea! It's too hot to drink during spring or summer months... winter, you drink it only to get warm quick... but the fall... the fall is the right time of year to really enjoy the tea experience! You get to appreciate the taste. The true taste.  Not the "I'm so cold, let me wrap my hands around the mug and gulp this to get warm" taste, but the "let me roll this around in my mouth and savor the flavor."

My favorite bag tea is probably peppermint. There are so many, but peppermint is from my childhood. Now I can get crazy with loose tea. Anything loose, really, but let's stay focused, shall we? We have several places in Kansas City that sell loose tea and I'm forever mixing them up, trying to create the perfect cup. It's an art form really. One I haven't perfected yet, but forever trying.
