Reading the Leaves

For all of us stranded by life in the snowbelt, there is no better way to start a frigid February morning than with a good book in hand and the swirl of the tea infuser. The birds outside scavenge for any last remnants of seed last fall has left behind, while snowflakes pass my window in slow motion. I inhale the aromas of my new love…Earl Grey Moonlight Tea (don’t let the name fool you, it tastes just as good in the morning light). On a recent shopping trip to Naperville, I discovered a new tea shop in town, Adagio Teas. Whether you prefer black, green, white or oolong tea, Adagio’s has an endless selection of loose or bagged teas that will inspire relaxation and provide some inner warmth for the soul.
