Celestial Seasonings must have dozens of ghost writers whipping up their seductive package messaging, because I nearly fell into a Christmasy trance upon reading this on the side of the box yesterday:
BLENDMASTER’S NOTES
“Stepping into a cozy kitchen warmed by the spicy aroma of freshly baked gingerbread - what a wonderful way to thaw a frosty winter chill! This handcrafted blend is a nostalgic medley of ginger, cinnamon, and other time-honored ingredients. Because it’s naturally caffeine free, you can indulge in this unmistakably merry tea any time!”
I impulsively purchased 20 of these gingerbread spice tea bags for a bargain $2.50. Both the tea and the ridiculous optimism that the tea represents are equally DELICIOUS!
