That sounds like tea heaven to me. I can imagine the smell... mmm.

Glengettie makes a really good cup of tea, but I find myself drawn to 
Welsh Brew more. Glengettie's packaging has an air of self-importance. 
Like any Apple hardware =) </flames>

I really love that a conversation for Linux newbies has leveled out at 
discussing the finer points of tea as well! In my head, the tea tasters 
at Twining are currently talking someone through a Gentoo install =)
