I just really love the name of this tea. It's super fun to say! What can I say about this tea? If I'm being honest, this is the tea that made me start thinking that I wanted to sink even deeper into the tea world.

It's not even that I would drink that much coffee… Continue reading Hello, Hello, Hello
