Ha. You thought I was joking….
… when I said that whoever identified that quote would get a (small) prize.
But I was sincere!
These objects are now winging their way to the Nonesuch’s front door:
Why, it’s a little teapot.
It stands about 5 inches high, and holds about two cups of tea.
And some tea to go with it.
I’ve added the teas under discussion.
Just big enough for an evening cuppa, plus refill.
The Bengal Spice is caffeine free, so you can either jazz up, calm down, or confuse yourself by mixing both, which of course is what I do.
So. There you go.

Oh, WOW. Is there any other way to get a teapot with Rowan’s worldmap on it? Please, oh, please say yes.

Mary —
Hm. If there’s really an interest, that certainly could happen! Let me think on it.

Aww! How delightful! One of my dear friends happens to love maps and all things cartographic, so now I’ll have something to make tea in when she visits! Thanks in advance for helping to put me on the map–or at least helping me to make something ~in~ a map and then put it in me!
And now Im going down to sit on the front doorstep and wait . . . .

Nonesuch —
Hope you’re not still waiting — the USPS tracking tells me that your prize has been delivered!

Why decaff? Just some added chemicals to nuetralise the caffeine…they don’t remove anything from the tea/coffee I think.

Bawa –
Bengal Spice tea is caffeine free because it’s herbal — there is no actual tea in it.
That makes it technically a tisane, but people the States tend to call any plant-based stuff you put in hot water to make a drink “tea”. And Celestial Seasonings isn’t going to fight the trend — they just call it herbal tea..

I’d be interested, too!

A Rowan-world cup or teapot? Me, too, please.
I’m with you on the tea vs. tisane thing. Herbal stuff isn’t “tea.” I drink oolong (yum).

Nonesuch, have your hot water ready! I’ve seen the pots and they look great, even though they’re small

It did indeed arrive this afternoon. Hallelujah–let the tea flow like wine! (Or the tisane like tea.) Remember, if it gets homesick you can always come visit it. Thanks again . . . .

Ah, ok. Anything that makes you write is great for us! (totally selfish readers)

I, too, would love a teapot. Better yet, I would love the next book! Just finishedy umteenth read through the series and was hoping to find there was a downloadable version of the 5th book for my plane journey to Britain…but alas!!! Patience, grasshopper!
