Teavana

Bello gave me some wonderful and exotic teas from a place he found in the Bay Area. I have been in tea heaven for the past two days. I cannot begin to tell you how it tastes or smells but I can tell you that there is no other store bought tea that will ever compare to Teavana. Bello bought me four different flavors:

This tea is from the Herbal Infusions/Rooibos Teas Collection

Carribean Breeze

Tropical mélange of rose hip, apple, elderberries, citrus peel, and hibiscus blossoms. Extremely rich in vitamin C.




This tea is from the Green Teas Collection

Shanghai Dreams

Green teas blended with ginger; pineapple, roses, cardamom, and bamboo sprouts.





These two teas are from the Flavored & Scented Black Teas Collection.

Sweet Cranberry Black

Naturally sweet blend of Ceylon black tea with blackberry leaves and cranberry pieces.




Peach Apricot

Ceylon black tea with peach and apricot pieces.





This could be found at the Accessories, Canisters & Tea Prep Collection.

Swiss Gold Ultimate TeaBall

This 23k SwissGold filter works perfect for a single cup or your favorite 1-6 cup teapot. Fine mesh filter keeps the leaves out of your tea and gives a full flavor as the leaves have plenty of room to open up.


Belle, the wonderful daughter that she is, saved a lot of her money and bought mom and dad a desperately needed Wet/Dry Dust Buster. I have never owned one and I cannot begin to tell you how many times I wish I had one. Belle remembered and mom and dad were surprised.

Among many other wonderful gifts, thank you to my family for your generosity at Christmas and it was great to once again be with everyone.

Until the next time - NEW YEAR'S PARTY AT LAYLA'S HOUSE! Sorry mom, I had to tell everyone. Your parties are always rockin'!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their family and friends!
