I was somewhat confused when I blabbed about a number of things and my book santa messaged me about tea, but I knew the real fun in this exchange is seeing what someone who knows all about me would think is the perfect book.

In response to my santa’s question of tea vs. coffee, I just gave them a ranking of Earl Grey with the note “I have no idea what you’ll do with this.”

I was expecting maybe a tea-related book but not A BOOK OF TEA. And it’s perfect! Aside from actually being a gift of Earl Grey, the book tin is hilarious and appeals to my sense of humor - best described as extended nerdy jokes. (My username comes from the HTCPCP-TEA protocol, which I also messaged my santa about.)

After I finish this tea, I’m looking forward to continuing to use the tin to store my teas! Storing vertically beats the footprint of my current storage (a tray fashioned from cardboard box that I’ll be happy to lose). A+, Santa!
