It arrived! Today! With a notice telling me I have to go to the dentist, no less. Some mail is just better than other mail.

Thank-you so much for tea all the way from India. Very impressive! I have an ignorance-based question. When I made the tea in a pot on the stove it smelled delicious and when I added a drop of honey it, in fact, tasted delicious. But what's with all the bits? This has happened to me before with tea from India and I don't know how to deal with the bits. Do I drink them? Do I let them settle at the bottom of the cup and then just leave them? Do I need some sort of device? Help!

Also, are you guys going to Clinton? I'm trying to gauge just exactly how much fun I will be having. ;)
