The Tantalizing Taste of a Woman

The Tantalizing Taste of a Woman

With tea what you get for taste
Is what you choose to brew.
If you select premium whole leaves,
Not ground up bits of dust, then you
Will get a richer flavor that
Will tempt you time and time again.

The qualities of a good woman
Are much the same.
It’s the whole woman you
Should consider, not specks of
This and that which can be
Whisked away like spilled leaves on
The counter board.

Choosing a good woman
May take many tastings and much time.
But making the right
Choice will be, oh, so rewarding
When you enjoy cup, after cup
After cup, after cup.


Susan Patterson

Discussion-

Well, this might be just plain naughty!  Depending how you look at life, that is.  What's not to like in a good woman?  Or a good man for that matter?   I think that I will stop here in the discussion section of The Causerie.  We want to be appropriate, now don't we?   skp

Why Not Try A French Tea?

Picture
Many of my readers already know, but for those who do not, we in the Patterson household enjoy our tea.  My husband has taken classes in the history and development of tea.  I just know how to make a good pot of tea consistently.  People often ask me which teas I would recommend.  There are so very many good teas available now that only on occasion do I suggest particular tea companies, so as not to leave any one company out.   However, I begin to break with tradition.  I will from time to time make suggestions for your tea pleasure.  

Have you tried French teas?  Have you heard of Nina's Paris?  Well, my dears, you will.  Already very popular in France and Japan, they will soon have stores in the United States.  Right now you can enjoy Nina's teas by ordering online.

Nina's teas are blended with unique and tantalizing flavors.  And what choices they have to select from!  In addition, Nina's have just been honored to win in the North American Tea Championship 2nd place for their Balade à Shanghai and 3rd place for Thé Des Muses.  But you won't want to stop there.  Just look online at their other very tempting tea selections. 

Nina's began in 1672 when Pierre Diaz created "La Distillerie Frères", which distilled essential oils.  For more than 300 years Nina's has had an amazing history filled with a passion for fragrances and aromas.  The company now offers a wide range of fine tea blends delicately flavored with pure essential oils.  One of Nina's teas, Marie Antoinette, is flavored with apples and roses grown only in the King's Kitchen Garden at Versailles. Gosh!  Why not kick up your heels a bit and choose a couple of Nina's marvelous options?  Look for the beautiful red tea tins.  You will be sipping a cup of France's history! 



Coming Soon!   Unnoticed Moments!
