My favorite teas are Chai, Chamomile and Ginger & Turmeric. The aromas are so intoxicating, they make me swoon as much as fresh basil does! If you're a foodie like me, then I know you can understand the power of a delicious fragrance. Poetry and Chai tea just go together so well. FAVORITE BRANDS: Twinings of London - Chai Bigelow - Vanilla Chai EVEN BETTER: Paul Newman's - Sweet Cinnamon Spice. Prepare to be mesmerized! Also, drop me a mail and let me know what you're currently reading. TTYL, JV
