The weirdest tea I've ever seen

No, I haven't broken my Lent promise. But I did recently order some tea from Adagio. One of the new ones is Black Dragon Pearls, and it looks like this --------->

The leaves/buds are wrapped into a ball almost the height of a AA battery, and about as wide as the black strip on the end of the Energizer battery pictured.

Pretty Weird.

It almost looks like the 90 calorie pack Quaker Oatmeal balls you can buy, or some kind of chocolate-peanut butter cereal. I'm not much of a sugary cereal guy, so you'll have to come up with your own comparison if you want a specific one. I just know that is what it looks like to me.

I'll probably have a post on what it tastes like in, you know, 23+ days, when I'm allowed to have tea again.

Side story: I got 10% off the green teas I bought (3 kinds), plus I had 170 points, which equated to $17 bucks off the entire order. So, I spent a hair above $50 (for the free shipping, you know), but got probably $3 off the green teas and $17 off the entire order. That's $20. So I spent $50 on essentially $70 worth of tea.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy about that.

  1. One might say that saving money brought you pleasure, not happiness...but I'm not judging.

    Also, I have no idea what day it is anymore.
