I Take My Tea with Apple!
What is your favorite teatime snack? Cookies, cakes, roasted peanuts? What if I say I like my tea with my apple, and I like them both white! Confused and curious? You ought to be. Well, grab on to yourcup of tea, and let’s solve this mystery together.
It was the summer of 2013. I had just become a mom for the second time after a gap of 5 years. I was recovering from my surgery and needed something to soothe my senses. 2013 was the year when I got introduced to the White Tea. It was also the year when I got my first Apple iPhone (a little late in the game, I know). That is the year I discovered the magic of white! Scrolling through a phone that was so much better than any smartphone I had ever used while sipping a tea in its purest form! I can tell you the experience was heavenly and started a relationship I cherish to this date.

I had heard about how Apple’s iPhone has such an excellent user interface
and is easy to use, but using it myself was such an exhilarating experience. Like any first time Apple user, I was mesmerized by the device. It was not only the ease of use that won me over but also the exquisite white color and smoothness of the device.
The feel that you get with that phone in hand,ooh! A cup of White Tea gives me that same pleasant and refreshed feeling. A sip of that hot white elixir has the same smooth touch on my taste buds that a shinning iPhone feels on my fingers. Those of you who haven’t experienced the magic of white tea, I highly recommend you do. It is tea in its purest consumable form. It is the most delicate of the tea verities available. It is the least processed and is harvested before tea leaves bloom fully. The iPhone must have been compared with many things, but I wonder if I am the only one who relates it to a flavor of tea I adore.
Over the years, I have changed my phones several times, by now, it should not be a surprise to you that all of them have been upgraded versions of the iPhone. One thing that hasn’t changed though is my love for White Tea and how it creates magic and gets me completely relaxed when I browse through my phone, stretched on my chair, taking one sip after the other.
