One thing that’s kind of cool about Starbucks is that every week I get to mark out either a pound of coffee or a box of tea. Being that I am a pretty active tea drinker, this is a good perk.
However, Starbucks, I just went to brew myself my nightly cup of chamomile tea (named “Calm Herbal Infusion” by the TAZO divison of Starbucks Coffee Company) and as I am waiting for the water to boil I read the back of the tea bag and it says:
“A single cup of Tazo Calm has been known to have the same effect as sitting for 45 minutes in a mountain meadow on a sunny day with your shoes off.”
Bluggh.

Ha ha! This cracked me up. I have the same reaction when I read my green tea bags that are apparently highly sought out by monks and heads of state….

Tracy, I went to go grab my box of GREEN TEA (Aka-”Zen”) out of the kitchen and the back of the bag says:
“High in the Kunlun Mountains of China, monks spend days chanting and meditating in hopes of reaching complete enlightenment. Periodically they stop for a cut of tea quite like this.”
I wonder if the monks also order sugar-free vanilla in their lattes?
