You know what? I want peaches now, too. Thanks for the idea! *lol* But they aren’t in season yet, are they?
Anyways, I’m glad you enjoyed the review, Rebekah! And I really want to try more of Tea Maineia’s teas, too. We might be going to Maine later this month to visit our relatives up there; and if we do, I’m sure I can nudge Mom into taking a quick trip to TM with me. 😉
