Surprised and delighted to discover in my mailbox more lovely freebies from Adagio Teas:

[Adagio amoroso]

Inside, another box of four 1 oz. samplers to match the first, with infusions of lime, cream, chocolate and “valentines” (mmm, chocolate-dipped strawberries, heaven!).

The gift that keeps on giving!

Am sipping a freshly-brewed cup of the lime as I type — subtle, refreshing, would probably make an excellent iced too. Will likely have to order a real-sized tin v. soon.

In other news, I’ve begun to foster an intense hatred for this new bathroom scale. Just what everyone needs, a new daily source of despair.


You must check out Utata.org right now for all sorts of fabulous goodness, not least of which is: trains!

(But this is Catherine Jamieson’s brainchild, so this should be no surprise at all)

Congrats on the Utata credit! Your work should appear on more sites. The world needs more images as seen by yuki!

I was so pleased with my tea sampler :)

I haven’t had a chance to try the others yet! Got some more oolong, so that’s been occupying my attention, but the valentine’s is calling me. Oh, yes. Not long now.

My brother-in-law brought back some very good green tea from Korea. That made me think of you. :) It is mild and lightly sweet - on the package it said that children and old people particularly like it. I’ll have to get the name and a better description when I get home. :)

Thanks for the link to utata —hadn’t seen that before. Very neat site!

Hmm, Louis — you’ll have to let me know what it is! I don’t know that I ran into a lot of green tea when I was in Korea. Most places served 보리차 (“boricha”), a very mild barley tea. Either that or all out booze!

Ana: isn’t it, though? ^^

The Tea! (With corresponding Korean tea set (in the style of an important Korean historical period (too bad I can never remember any of the specifics)))

Pretty! The set looks like it’s trying to look like Koryo dynasty “blue” celadon, which Korea was famous for at the time.

I have to admit, I have now also fallen in love with Adagio. What a wonderful little company!
