梅まつり。。。

Hi everyone!

Temperatures were a little warmer today so I had a Starbucks and lunch with my husband.  After he went to work, I went to Yushima Tenmangu.  Now it's 梅 season (plum blossoms).  Unlike さくら (cherry blossoms), 梅 last only a short time usually mid-February to March.  I almost always forget about 梅 season because it's not a prevalent as さくら but we have an 梅 tree at work, so I knew it was time to get out and see some 梅。

 梅 flowers are really beautiful and if you're in Tokyo around this time, you should check them out.

Lipton Tea...

It's tea time again!

So I've got two new teas for you.

So Lipton recommends that you heat this before you enjoy it.  I did that.  I still didn't enjoy it.
