*I was tempted to call this post “Tea Bagging,” but I thought it might attract the wrong audience.

Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.

11/29/18: I am a coffee person. I never got into tea, though unsweetened iced tea can be just the thing on a hot day (remember hot days? Weren’t they great?). Hot tea just never appealed to me. I like the smell, I like the accessories, I like the ceremony, but I never warmed to the taste.

That said, I know how popular it is with most of the world, so I thought it was a subject worthy of exploration.
