Ooh, thanks, 'Suela, I hadn't heard about that. Interesting.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I brew teas and coffees as if I want to etch something with them. Apparently, I embrace the bitter. Shocker!

It's a tisane, isn't it?
In Quebec for sure. I don't think I've ever (until now) heard the word used in the States.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I only know that from books, honestly.

It's one of those words I don't know how to pronounce because I've only read it, not heard it.

Because books.
They're always having tisanes in Regency romances!

In my experience Canadian tea bags can definitely make a decent second cup but American ones cannot.
Canadian tea bags have to survive sitting in a tea pot all day in a simmering tea pot when a Newfoundlander gets their hand on them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've always preferred teas to coffees, and I like quite a range of teas, green, white, black, etc, but not that big on tisanes. Hibiscus and cinnamon are about it. I'm nuttier about this particular jasmine green tea that I have a bushel of than I have been any variety in a while. It's pretty much all I drink now. But not more than two cups a day (same leaves) and rarely after noon, just in case.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Teavana's Jasmine Dragon is faboo. That's pretty much the only thing I get there.
