morning tea

As I was enjoying my Teavana Tea, my selection white tea "To Life". What a tasty tea to enjoy a nice morning. I found it in a quaint store in the Potomac area. The store named Teavana Tea had large loose tea leaf glass vats to choose from. The assistants opened the To Life container and a wonderful wiff and aroma surprised me. The freshness brought a smile.
