Tea that reminds me of a best friend, especially since she thoughtfully sent it to me. I’m nearing the end of the little packet and have enjoyed each cup thoroughly, especially since I figured out that the label-recommended proportion of leaf to water is too strong (tablespoon to 12 ounces—way too much).
When you back that off, it’s a light and lovely black tea that leads with sweet blackberry and just enough maple to provide a little contrast—not enough to make it taste like IHOP syrup. Today, I ended up playing half-and-halfsies with the rest of my morning tumbler and half a Sonic iced tea, and had a lovely chilled drink in the afternoon.
As to the friendship, it’s sweeter than the tea—one of those that can withstand inconvenient distances and long pauses and you can just pick up the conversation right from where you left off—mid sentence, even. Her birthday’s Saturday, so if you see Rhonda, tell her I said hey :)

If you have Sonics in your part of the world, are the people in your neighborhood rabidly crazy about their drinks? I am somewhat puzzled by that, as I am not. My sweet boss did a Sonic run on a particularly screamy day yesterday, and as I helped her hand out the goods, a coworker said, “In Missouri, a Sonic drink is a good as a hug.”
Here’s to good friends and inside jokes that can brighten any gloomy day by remembering the time you laughed so hard you almost spit out your tea.
Oh, it wasn’t just “almost spit…!”
