sanrio eraser tea

the local cvs carries 2 types of tea: celestial seasonings sleepytime (ick) and standard liptons (double ick.) luckily i found cardullo's (which in addition to a wide variety of teas also carries a wide variety of chocolates. score!) i made my selection of celestial seasonings perfectly pear white tea based on the following: 1. it was a white tea, which is supposed to be higher in antioxidants, 2. it didn't cost $20/pack like the republic of tea's white tea, and 3. it sounded kind of yummy. so i tried it for the first time today and while it smelled quite good, the smell was exactly that of the pink little twin stars eraser i had when i was 9 years old. it brought back some happy memories, but i don't think i'll be buying this again.
