A friend of mine who knows I haven’t been feeling so tippity-top these days sent me some herbal tea from Sassafras, a cheeky new Seattle tea company that seems to be as interested in giving a good laugh as it is in making organic loose-leaf teas. But they did the trick – she sent me one called Cold Shoulder, which was a calming mix of ginger, lemongrass, and orange peel, and Cranky B@%*!, a soothing concoction with lavender, nettles, and raspberry leaf. I’ve been consuming them in mass quantity and I might actually get dressed today. Might.
