Tea!

I have a complicated relationship with tea. I go through phases when I love it and drink it every day, and then months at a time where I don't have any. At the moment I'm in a tea-every-day kick, prompted mostly by the fact that I got one of these for Christmas from my parents: With my Adagio IngenuiTEA infuser, I received a book about teas and the "flavor sample pack" of Vanilla, Oriental Spice, Strawberry, and Mango. I also bought a Coconut sample tin for myself, and recently a Valentine's and a Caramel. So far I've only tried the bolded flavors, but they were all delicious. I find the flavors subtle, but definitely present. With a little honey or sugar and milk, yum! They make a great after work pick-me-up.

The IngenuiTEA dispenser is great. I boil water in the microwave, add the tea leaves, and wait about five minutes. When you set the dispenser over a mug, a valve opens up and the tea drains in. Fast and easy! Plus, it's really easy to clean. It's apparently dishwasher safe, but I don't have a dishwasher so I haven't tested that yet.

Anyway, if you like tea I highly recommend Adagio. Their IngenuiTEA infuser is great, and the rest of their teaware is stylish. I've enjoyed all of the teas I've tried so far. Their website is user-friendly, and everything ships FAST. Plus, if you're a first-time user I can send you a gift certificate for $5. Sample tins (5-10 cups) run $1-$5, and most seem to be around $2, so you can get quite a lot of tea for the certificate. Shipping is free over $50, and a flat $3.75 under.

If you want a gift certificate, leave me your email address!
