I can’t explain it, but it’s where I’m at. <a href="http://theteaspot.com/boulder-blues-loose-green-tea.html">Boulder Blues</a> is my favorite tea of the moment.

I preferred to drink tea out and about anyway, so it never occurred to me to start buying them for home, but the season and other factors make having them at home a lot better (and cheaper, too..) so I’ve decided to get all over it.</p> </blockquote>http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/415524835http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/415524835Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:57:00 -0500senchateagreen<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kx8c27JGPm1qzwzd4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://alliepixel.tumblr.com/post/415336794/via-www-toxel-com">alliepixel</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>via <a href="http://www.toxel.com"><a href="http://www.toxel.com">www.toxel.com</a></a></p> </blockquote>http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/415523168http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/415523168Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:55:46 -0500tea<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxgx8ojkl81qz957po1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://zebrapoo.tumblr.com/post/375926582/more-clever-and-creative-tea-packaging">zebrapoo</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2010/01/27/clever-and-creative-tea-packaging/">More clever and creative tea packaging…</a></p> </blockquote>http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/376123497http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/376123497Sun, 07 Feb 2010 09:39:49 -0500tea bag<a href="http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2010/01/27/clever-and-creative-tea-packaging/">Clever tea packaging</a>http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/359514720http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/359514720Fri, 29 Jan 2010 06:41:51 -0500tea<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwvpssmX8Z1qzqwfvo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://myserendipities.tumblr.com/post/355105971">myserendipities</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The <a href="http://www.monkey-bus.co.il/Product.aspx?CategoryID=8&SubCategoryID=0&ProductID=225">Tea Sub</a> submerges tea leaves to the bottom of a cup, creating the perfect infusion of your favorite brew.</p> </blockquote>http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/355170508http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/355170508Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:49:37 -0500infusertea<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwlf8ezhAn1qz9d6lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://growingupindie.tumblr.com/">growingupindie</a>)</p>http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/348404276http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/348404276Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:16:41 -0500<p>store loose darjeeling tea in a <a href="http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/cinnamon-bark-tea-box">cinnamon bark box</a> to get a wonderfully subtle spiced tea.</p>http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/346657910http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/346657910Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:30:00 -0500darjeelingtea<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwh5xgKAku1qzfwibo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>Aged Oolong</b></p>http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/342019817http://lightlycaffeinated.com/post/342019817Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:32:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwcr25Wa1k1qzfwibo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><b>Radiance Tea House:</b> <p>Tasting aged tikuan yin oolong — has a deep roasted flavor darker than a traditional oolong.
