I saw LiberTEAS talking about ordering a PersonaliTEA, so I ordered one too.
It arrived in a box decorated with cute teacup stamps. Inside the box was red tissuepaper wrapping up a bag of tea and a card. The card talked about creating my blend, and what the inspiration from my survey was. Everything was done up very adorably, I love when packages seem wrapped in care.
I wonder if the coloring was done just for me, or if they're all red.
I think this would do well prepared as a latte.
It has less of the WAKE UP than I was hoping for and the name implied, this is more like a brunch cup of delicious warm and comforting.
