When I visited China a few summers ago I encountered summer heats beyond imaginable proportions. I was thrilled for they typhoons, the thunder, the flash floods, because they cooled us down and of course cleared the air. I'm doing a bit of a rain dance now as the convection belt stagnates and climate change is a harsh reality affecting those we have little or no way of communicating assistance with. I'll calm myself with a cooling breath now.
One of the ways I delight in staying cool is believe it or not folks, drinking tea! I know you can find a myriad of cool things to keep yourself occupied with like ice cream from our very own fenton's http://www.fentonscreamery.com/
most consumers would be thrilled! But a dairy free--(mostly) girl like me is content with other more nutritious choices.
Though I like my tea warm most of the time, for the yummy blended tastes Lamyx provides both dairy and non dairy teas. I'm not a huge fan of soy, so I opted for the green tea, passion fruit and mango combination. I got a slight brain freeze from the indulgence, but it was worth it!

And on a recent outing I was pleasantly surprised to find a refreshing -what-tasted-to-me-like an- oolong/rooibos mix tea to go, since tea tasting time was up. Me love oolong time! I am incredibly impressed by the design of this place and was indeed reminiscent of my tea shop visits in Zhong Guo.
