“Do you ever think of what they’ve gone through?” he asked, as I stared upward, mouth agape in amazement.

I hadn’t really considered it. After all, it’s been a dream of mankind to fly for so, so long. Naturally, I was jealous of the figures soaring and looping above my head. Who wouldn’t be?

But I was still thinking about it, later that night as I lie in bed on my back. Even this would be impossible to do. Clearly, there was a cost to be borne. But the joy, the exhilaration- it would be worth it, I was certain.

I won’t go into detail what it felt like, having objects growing out of what you’d grown used to as your body. Thank goodness it was winter – they tell me the cold keeps it from being worse. I cannot imagine how it could be worse.

But in the end. everyone who has seen me appears just as amazed as I was, back on that day. Eyes and hearts full of life and hope as they tell me how wonderful it must be. It is truly inspiring to be an uplifting influence on so many people.

When you grow tired of the humdrum, the everyday, the monotonous grind of feeling like you’ve seen it all, you can come and watch me fly. I never tire of it, and just maybe you’ll be invigorated like I am, way above the tumult and commotion below.

Wonder and amazement is never far, when you’ve got wings.

Wonder why this tea is called Winter. Is it winter tea pressed in spring, or just a name for a tea?

@cwyn Sometimes a name is just a name. Can’t take them literally. In this case we felt there’s a nice “cooling effect” with the tea. The combination of this, the nimble qualities of this tea, imagery and alliteration led to the name. We couldn’t in good conscience be able to sell winter tea, no matter what the name.

ah yes, the name threw me off too and I had to read the fine print to realize this is a spring tea :)

I almost certainly don’t know very much about all that I don’t know about tea.

But I’m trying!
