Teasing

Posted on by Emsch the Mensch

I was teasing when I said my cupboard was stocked with cookies. Teasing, with an emphasis on the tea.

Before I left Istanbul, I shopped. Rather than bring home chicken shish, baklava, or semolina cookies, I chose tea. Ottoman tea, Sultan tea, Relax tea, Rose tea. Tea made from dried pomegranates, oranges, apples, rose petals. Bright red, yellow, dried herbs and flower tea. Organic tea and caffeine-free tea. Tea that smells divine, like roses, fruity.

I’ll survive. I know this with certain-tea.

  2. What a colorful, flavorful assortment of teas! Don’t forget the old-time custom of cookies with a cup of tea, even if you can’t be sure that a semolina cookie is a cookie.
