Tea

Some time ago, [livejournal.com profile] mythosidhe mentioned Zhena's Gypsy Tea, and upon finding it at Wegman's and Whole Foods and other expensive grocery stores where I shop for gluten-free goods, I tried it and was hooked.

I was going to effuse over it extensively, but dang it! They changed their packaging! Sigh. The old tins were way more cute. I might see if I can pick up a few more varieties at Wegman's when I go visit Viv, because... wah. The old ones were way cuter.

Like so. Which I would totally just order from Amazon, but I seriously don't need six of them.

Oh man! I loved the cheery hippie vibe of the old tins. The new ones look like they're trying to be Tazo or Stash or Republic of Tea or something. Not cool.

They seem to be! So boring and... greyed out. Nyeh.

Which makes me sad, because I FREAKING LOVE THE TEA. Even the red teas (which I'm normally kind of eh on some blends) I loveeeeeee. Thus, I am tracking down the old tins. Like an insane person.

(It's funny, Cory and I once again have almost exact opposite tastes in tea -- he likes reds and greens the best, and heavy fruit flavors, whereas I love black and white tea and florals. Thus, we have a wide selection!)
