My favorite still from SATC.  And Carrie is in my second favorite dress of the whole show.  Who doesn't feeling like jetting off to Paris and pretending to be French via wearing long camel hair/cashmere goat in blacks/grays/dusty blues with pastel gloves.  And tea cup dresses like Carrie. Sigh. 


My favorite tea: Harney and Sons' "Paris".  You can't get it in Shanghai, and you can only get it in a independent coffee shop in my hometown.  But then again, there is only one other coffee shop other than Starbucks.  And we all know Starbucks' horribleness is highlighted with their lackluster, sub-par tea's.  Here in China, I can't even get a Green Tea.  Oh no.  It has to be a Green Tea Latte... We are in CHINA! Isn't this a tea capital? And yet, there is only Earl Grey and English Breakfast Tea....and I think its Twinnings. (Moment of silence for Starbuck's failure.)

The "Paris" tea is great for the cold months, its a white tea.  And its notes are sublime.  I love tea.  I take a thermos to school each day and must drink around 9 separate cups of tea ( I keep the spare bags in my backpack) during school.  I miss the tea.  I need to go tea shopping, I am not a big fan of that which is in our house at the moment
