Tea

Chillin’ with Fake Steve

Blossom Tea Cup

I came across this hilarious blog written by “Steve Jobs.” You have to take a glance…right here.

I just feel like sippin’ some iced tea and reading that blog. I made my light lemonade today and went to town nerd-style. The brisk weather here in California has made me think of tea both iced and hot. Tea is one of those beverages that I often overlook. I always enjoy a hot cup of tea in the evening or on a Saturday morning while I check out the latest online gossip here.

Here are some great tea shops that you might want to check out:

One time I received a great birthday gift with tea from this place. It was beautifully wrapped and the tea was delicious.

This place is my new favorite. I love the store so much it is ridiculous! Their store is pristine and has tea displayed in flat canisters with windows so you can see the tea blends and the lids open so you can truly savor each tea. The packaging is slick and it has that gorgeous Japanese flair. Also, this website features Tea School which is offered at the stores in Japan. The descriptions of the tea classes are both hilarious and informative in their mildly-awkward English translations. Enjoy this one!

Finally, this is the tea shop I adored in college. I never got used to those freezing cold winters in Boston. This place always made the wait for the bus back to Wellesley that much more enjoyable. Ahhh, college…I don’t miss the ramen noodles or the fifty kinds of fries, but I do miss the tea from Tealuxe.
