Vitax Poziomkowa Tea
When one thinks of winter, one generally pictures cold, dreary days spent trapped in the house like a restless (but majestic), caged mountain lion. Winter rarely summons memories of gamboling delightedly through sunny, daisy-filled meadows, but that is exactly the sensation I experienced yesterday in the midst of a frigid Midwestern January. How, one might ask, was I able to enjoy the warm, tingly delight of the senses that accompanies the arrival of spring when in fact winter was only just beginning? The answer lies in the magical elixir known as Vitax Poziomkowa tea. Poziomki, the Polish name for a type of wild strawberry known for its mythical healing powers, make a brilliant addition to any tea experience, and the tea-concocting wizards at Vitax deserve the highest possible praises for their ingenious decision to combine tea and poziomki into one ultimate food/beverage experience. After steeping for roughly eight minutes, the initial beverage was slightly bitter, but the addition of sugar and honey accentuated the delightful sweet succulence of the magical Polish poziomki and transformed the drink into an enchanting potion of tea satisfaction that I hope to enjoy again and again and again and again.
Rating Scale:
Packaging (bag): Deceptive; a seemingly mundane tea bag with an austere, green “Vitax” label attached cleverly cultivates the appearance that this is merely an every-day tea experience. How absolutely false.
Color: an entrancing oscillation between a rich burgundy-rose and a chilling Persian velvet/blood tone
Type: miraculous
Caffeine Content: ideal
Smell: heavenly
Taste: divine
Good With: honey, sugar, candlelit dinners
Steeping Time: 8 Minutes
Time of Day Best to Drink: from immediately after awakening until well after sleep has settled in
Texture: if this tea were clothing, its texture would surpass the finest Chinese silk made out of the purest silvery spider-webs covered with the most dazzling scintillations of dew
Price: bliss is priceless

Why are you crazy kids drinking so much tea anyway? Instead of caffeinated beverages what you all need is a good night's sleep. And candle lit dinners?? All you need is to be loopy and caffeinated on tea and playing with fire at the same time . . . sounds like a recipe for disaster . . .
