Into the castle of tea

I see the magical kingdom up ahead. Its warm and cozy as I walk. I can't wait to reach it. As I stride toward the door my legs are like feathers, light and carefree. Upon the door I see the words "Here lies the kingdom, the kingdom of Tea." I strain myself trying to open the door, large wooden doors with a peculiar aroma of a burnt crispy lipton tea bags. I finally get it open, and to my suprise there is a a kettle at the door. "Would you like a cup of tea?" She is rather large and is boiling hot, but has a sweet angelic voice. How could I refuse?!?! "Yes my dear, I would love a cup of tea." She spouts her tea into my little chinese cup I pulled out of my pocket, and I begin to drink it. "Hmm, your tea is so lovely, it tastes like jasmine. Is that what you are?" "Why yes, I am Jasmine. Your taste buds know very well." "My name is Jasmine, actually, and you were the first today to figure out my taste. Just for that I will give you a tour of our kingdom of Tea." So on me and Jasmine go exploring this fantastic little city. It was so lovely. The first room we visited was the Oriental room. The teapots there were serving chopsticks with their tea, I met a delightful little kettle his name was Oolong, He was so cute. He even sang to me, "Im a little tea cup short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout, when i get all steamed up hear me shout, tip me over and pour me out!!!" "Wow", I said. "I love that song, you sang it so well.""You make me want more tea, can I have a taste of yours too?" So Oolong replied, "Of course my little deary, have a bit of me too!" So i had a bit of Oolong, and we were on our way again. So me Jasmine and Oolong went onto to another part of the kingdom. It was the coolest room of all, atleast to me that is. It had so much sugar and spices, cinnamon and hazelnut!! Oh my god, I think I was going to have a heart attack, it was a dream come true. The theme song to this part was a spoonful of sugar, it sure was the medicine to make it go down.

So me Oolong and Jasmine went on our little tea spree. We drank so much good tea we thought we would faint. Then the good little white tea fairy came down, she said, "well my dear, I hope you enjoyed all this tea, but now you must do us all a favor, the green tea of the west wants to destroy us all. She thinks that you have come to steal our secret recipe, and that were all in it with you." "Please miss, you must help us destroy green tea!!" So I replied, " Of course Good white tea of the east, I will surely help you. Only on the condition that you will help me get back home to Good Ol' New York." White tea replied, " Yes I will, only if you defeat green tea." So me and my new friends go to defeat green tea. It was not at all an easy task, she had her sticky honey traps that caught me and I started to melt into the floor. "Oh my goodness gracious, OOLONG!!JASMINE!! the honey fiends are like quicksand, Im going down into an abyss!!" Jasmine and Oolong try their best to help me out but fail miserably. I end up in the green tea mansion, she has such an evil scent. I get almost feel it. She tried to make me drink her god awful self, but I somehow escape it everytime. She then places me in a pot, she tells me she will make sure to boil me if I don't give her back the secret recipe. Which I don't even have...

Oolong and Jasmine in the meantime come up with an idea to get me out. They dress themselves up as the honey after somehow attaining their level of stickiness and get me out. Now me,Jasmine, and Oolong are jsut trying to get out of this horrible mansion. But of course we run into the Green Tea of the West. "Well, well my sweety, You didn't actually think you could get away from me did you?!?!" So I replied,"Well, uh i thought maybe I could get away if you weren't to have caught us... duh.?" Green tea get so mad at me she throws her big heavy kettled self at me I didn't know what to do, my first reaction was to gra the closest object nearest to me. A big ice bag, I throw it at her, and she begins to cool down. "Oh noooooooooooooooooooo!!!! My good green hotness is cooling and freezing, Ahhhh!!! My tender taste is frozen." And Green tea froze right there, in front of all our eyes. "Yay!!! we defeated her!!!
............................................................................................................................................................................

Now we take back the journey to the castle, but I realized that I don't want tea no more. I want to go home. So, white tea came over to me and everyone celebrated our defeat of the evil green tea. White tea then told me, "You always had a way to get home, you just had to have that feeling of wanting another drink.""Wow really, thats all I had to do?!" "So I said goodbye to my dear good friends and wished upon something new.
...............................................................................................................................................................................
So I closed my eyes and said, " There's nothing like the taste of coffee, there't nothing like the taste of coffee, theres nothing like the taste of coffee." And just like that I was in starbucks.
