“As far as her mom was concerned, tea �xed everything. Have a cold? Have some tea. Broken bones? �ere's a tea for that too.

Somewhere in her mother's pantry, Laurel suspected, was a box of tea that said, 'In case of Armageddon,

steep three to �ve minutes'.”

Rooibos Tea originates in South Africa. It is usually grown in a small area in the region of the Western Cape province. �e leaves are oxidized, which produces the distinctive reddish-brown colour of rooibos and enhances it’s �avour. Unoxidised ‘green’ rooibos is also produced, but the more demanding production process for green rooibos makes it more expensive than traditional varieties.

Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you Tea, and that’s sort of the same thing.
