Geeking out over Sherlock - in public

Guys - I just made a spectacle of myself in public. Seriously.

Since I came back from Edinburgh I've been aware that it is time to Get Serious About Tea. The teabags at work produce something, well, vile, in comparison to real tea. So when I was out today and I passed an Adagio tea store, I went in. I picked out a little tea-for-one set to have at work and smelled a bunch of tea. Then I was checking out and to my right on the counter saw -

I nearly began hyperventilating. I then proceeded to represent our fandom by gasping out something like - Oh my god, they're slashing the tea. This is slash tea! This is so awesome! I'm going to need to take a lot of pictures now and then buy all of these.

The girl who was helping me was pleased that I was so happy, but she was a little confused by How Happy I was.

And, hey, idea! Since you obviously know the shop, maybe we could meet there.

I spent so much more than I should have today - more than a bit not good. They didn't have any of the other fannish tea, and there, for some reason, was only one of each blend other than Sherlock and John.

Yes, that would be an excellent place to meet, they offered to brew me up a sample of anything I wanted to try and had samples of iced tea and other blends, and possibly a tray of little tasting things.

I'll be back in early July, and we should definitely make plans then.

Yes, after the holiday. Have fun!
