Well, let me tell ya ’bout this loose black tea leaves, alright? It ain’t like them dusty bags you get at the store, no sir. This here is the real deal, the kinda stuff folks been drinkin’ for ages.

First off, I heard tell it’s good for ya. Keeps them “free radicals,” whatever them things are, from messin’ with your insides. Doctors, they say it keeps you from gettin’ all sorts of nasty sicknesses later on. I don’t know about all that fancy talk, but I reckon it can’t hurt none. Grandma always said a cup of tea makes everything better, and she lived to be a hundred, so somethin’ must be right about it.

Now, this loose tea, it’s got a whole lot more flavor than them bags. Them bags taste like…well, like nothin’ much. This here loose stuff, it’s like a whole party in your mouth! Some of it’s strong and wakes you right up, like that “Breakfast Blend” they call it. Good for gettin’ you goin’ in the mornin’, gets you movin’ faster than a rooster chasin’ a hen.

Then you got other kinds that are all fancy and…what’s the word… “nuanced,” I think they said. Tastes like flowers and sunshine, or somethin’. I ain’t one for all that flowery stuff myself, but some folks like it. To each their own, I always say.

• You can get all kinds of different flavors too.
• Some taste like dirt, in a good way, you know?
• Earthy, that’s the word.
• And then there’s that “Chai” stuff. Tastes like Christmas and cinnamon and all sorts of warm things. Don’t got no caffeine in it though, so it won’t keep you up at night.

Makin’ it ain’t hard neither. You get yourself a pot, a nice one, not one of them rusty old things from the barn. And you put some hot water in it, swish it around, and then dump it out. That’s to warm it up, see? Then you put in your tea leaves. Not too much, not too little. Just enough.

Then you pour in the boilin’ water, right over them leaves. Let it sit for a bit. How long? Well, that depends. Some folks like it strong, some folks like it weak. You gotta figure it out for yourself. Trial and error, like most things in life.

And when it’s ready, you pour it into a cup. A nice cup, mind you. None of them chipped ones your husband uses for his coffee. And you sit yourself down and you enjoy it. That’s the most important part, you know? Slowing down and enjoyin’ the little things. A good cup of tea, a warm fire, good company…that’s what life’s all about.

Now, where you get this fancy tea, you ask? Well, I heard tell they got these “master blenders” makin’ it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? They pick the best leaves from all over the world, mix ‘em up just right. They say it’s like a science, or an art, or somethin’. All I know is it tastes good.

You can find these leaves at them fancy stores, or even online nowadays. Just search for “loose black tea” and you’ll find all sorts. Just make sure it’s the good stuff, the stuff that tastes like somethin’. You don’t want none of that weak, flavorless stuff, no sir.

So there you have it. That’s all I know about loose black tea leaves. It ain’t rocket science, but it’s good for you and it tastes good. And in my book, that’s all that matters.

Now go on and make yourself a cup. You deserve it.
