Can you elaborate on this? Gingerbread and tea are my two very favorite comfort foods. I would love to know where to find this.

It’s a brand I’m not familiar with. The name on the tin is “Adagio Teas” There’s a picture of a gingerbread man, and two tiny icons which tell how hot to have the water, and for how long to steep the tea. I’ll bet if you Google the words Adagion, tea, and gingerbread, you’d find it.

IIRC Celestial Seasonings also makes gingerbread tea, but I’ve only seen it in stores around Christmastime.

The mystery is solved. **AFG’s** first package was returned to my house today. The reason it was returned? The dorks at Mailboxes Etc never filled out the shipping address on the box itself. I filled out all the paperwork but they boxed it up for me. I don’t know what happened to the paperwork but the address label on the box has the return address and nothing else.

Geez! I wonder why it took them so long to send it back to you? _Somebody_ must have noticed the same package sitting there for weeks…

I’m drinking some of **Tamryne** ’s Jasmine Green right now. It’s…different. I wasn’t prepeared for the interesting flavor so I added a bit of pure vanilla extract. Tastes better with the vanilla.
