Tea by Mail

This is why I often include a bag of tea in the letters I send to friends. 

Because after a long afternoon of painting trim, I so appreciate sitting down to read a note with a bag of what a friend's been drinking lately tucked between the pages. 

Today,  I boiled water and sat down to a cup Wild Berries herbal tea, before diving into a friend's  correspondence. Before  picking up the paintbrush again, all I needed was a moment to of calm quiet.

Does anyone else tuck tidbits in your letters? What surprises do you include?
