It is not everyday that you see a bird flying with a whole bagel in its mouth. I was at Sunset Park photographing the birds when I saw this bird swoop in and snatch this bagel from the water like it was a fish.

I don’t believe I would buy this tea again. I am sure it is high quality for what it is, but I found the aroma very surprising upon opening the bag. Very reminiscent of a wild fire sweeping through a pine forest. I don’t feel this is an appealing smell for something I am about to drink.

The best part of this tea experience is the half hour of amusement I got from steeping a cup of this tea at work. Half of the office immediately thought the building was on fire and starting running around looking for smoke. I figured I better tell them that it was the tea they were smelling before the fire department got dispatched.
