Tea Infuser Arrived

 

Song:  Ordinary World

Group: Duran Duran

I just received my electric Infuser Kettle today.

I love it so much.

-------------

Yes...

I am like a child when I react to positive things in life.

I feel an inner giddiness...

a bubbling and upwelling of happiness from the simplest things.

I had been so looking forwards to this infuser 

since I had first ordered my peppermint tea.

I will be making large batches of tea...

as I will be drinking large quantities throughout the day. 

This great electric infuser comes with a separate base plate...

which the kettle itself just fits on top of as only the water in the kettle heats up...

while the base remains cool.

Then you just lift off the kettle and it is portable as a serving vessel.

You can see the stainless steel loose leaf tea strainer inside the kettle.

I had also ordered a stainless steel...

hermetically sealable tea container.

I just spooned out the tea into the filter

(which attaches to the underside of the lid).

I slid the tea strainer back onto the lid.

There is also a finer filter which seals up against the pouring spout...

and which is part of the main kettle...

but which is very easy to clean.

I then just placed the kettle onto the electrical connector plate...

...and flipped the large under handle switch

(a blue led light tells you when it is heating the water to a boil...

whereupon it automatically shuts off and the tea steeps for 10 or so minutes).

In less than a minute...

it began to boil the water.

In less than two minutes...

it began to boil at a greater rate.

After I let it steep...

the tea was the color of coffee...

just right.

The kettle just lifts right off the electrical connection plate.

And the kettle performs perfectly as a serving vessel.

I really love this tea steeper.

It works perfectly...

is very convenient...

and is a very welcome addition to my kitchen.

---------

Although this tea is delicious...

and leaves a coolness in my mouth...

I want an even more intense peppermint experience.

So, I ordered essence of peppermint drops...

made specifically to add to tea.

I will then call my peppermint tea...

Arctic Blast  :)

I think I will once again visit the Yellow Mountain Tea House.

I miss the Dim Sum...

as well as the tranquil ambiance...

and I plan to buy more tea directly from them.

-----------

Just as the included song intimates...

take care of the future...

so you may then leave the prison of the past...

and so...

you may fully live life today.

Allow yourself to feel a free flowing happiness

in the most ordinary of events in your life.

Delicious meals or drinks...

country drives...

little gifts to yourself...

beautiful scenery...

should all make you feel as giddy as a child at Christmas.

So...

 once again...

never let your inner child die...

for he (or she) is the one who gives life so much of its flavor.

Love life always...

it is the only one we will have.
