TEA WITH TRACY - you bring the cake!

These are the teas that I have currently been enjoying. To spark some interest in Tea with Tracy, I will provide a list below of all of the teas I have received from my subscription service. (For those of you not familiar with subscription services, for a set amount of money each month you receive a variety of items. The items usually follow what is occurring in the token market, or the time of year and trends.)

Over the next couple of weeks I will review these teas until I catch up. Then we can move on to the new teas that I will be receiving. (PS. This is the format I will stick to unless we find something more appropriate.)

Grilled veggies and fish pair exquisitely.
