Come little cottage girl,
you seem to want a cup of tea;
And will you take a little cream?
Now tell the truth to me.
She had a rustic, woodland grin;
Her cheek was soft as silk,
And she replied, "Sir, please
put a little drop of milk."

I love your black teas as well as tea lab. But I really wished you carried other teas like green or herbals.
