"The little package of Ceylon
arrived in fragrant safety."
So reads a riddle from a letter
by Emily Dickinson.
The answer to that riddle? Tea.
What kind of tea
did that little package contain?
Evidently
it contained pekoe, a superior
kind of black tea.
"It is inferior
for coffee," I say with Mark Twain,
"but it is pretty
fair tea."
