Sometimes Silent

First off there is the method you make the tea. You take the handy “kettle” put in some loose tea, then either fill with boiling water, or fill with cold water and microwave the whole thing.

After steeping you put the kettle on top of a mug (a large mug is best) the tea is dispensed from the bottom of the “kettle” and into your cup. You then open the kettle and dump out the used tea.

It’s an easy way to make gourmet tea for one and the teas taste great. I got the herbal sampler and my favorite is the organic rooibos tea.

I took two photos of what I received. One shows the “kettle” on top of a 12 oz mug (nifty mug eh? It was one of the prototypes, you can buy it from rockgrrl). You have to be careful with 12 oz mugs though because the “kettle” holds 16 oz. I found you can fit it on a 15 oz mug but it’s filled right to the brim. I prefer to use the smaller mug, and keep some of the tea in the kettle till I need to refresh my cup.

Now on to the “free” part. It seems the folks at Adagio Teas have not had that great a placement in Google, and being net saavy folks, they are aware of the power of linking. The are offering various sets of free stuff if you link to them, the pay off is according to your Google Page Rank. I go the set in the picture for having a Page Rank of 5, you can get free tea for having a PR of as low as 0! Read about the details.
