| - I have an addictive personality (shocker, I know) so when I hopped up on the proverbial "wagon," I immediate sought out the quickest replacement I could find. Unfortunately, while skilled in the art of boozing, I am no tea aficionado and have been drinking bagged tea I got for $1.99 at WalMart. (I am sorry, Julia T, on so many levels)
The other day I happened to be trolling around The Biltmore infecting people with my excessively shiny good mood when I happened across Teavana and the lovely ladies out front providing samples of their Jasmine Dragon tea.
Until this moment, I refused to believe that loose leaf tea could be that much better than the bagged tea, but let me tell you, I. WAS. WRONG. That is right, I am admitting, perhaps for the first time ever, that I was wrong about something.
I did not like having to spend $7 on my Teavana container (which is why I am docking one star) but I didn't mind the other $25 I spent on the tea because, let's just be honest, it is fucking delicious. And cheaper than booze.
To cap off this lovely little experience, the gal who rang me up (and was sure to explain all about the tea to me!) "forgot" to charge me for the cup of brewed tea I asked for, so I got it for free. She was either pitying me for spending $35 on tea or she thought I was cute. Either way, I was happy to leave five bucks richer and immediately proceeded to spend it at the next designation. Money burns a hole in my pocket, what can I say?
