I’ll never forget a atory i read on here about this journalist who wanted to write a story about Poppy Pod Tea.

So he found some decorative store that sold things like dried plants to put in decorative vases, and got some poppy pods from them. They shipped him his pods all wrapped up nice and safe from breakage in shipping. He then proceeded to make his tea and enjoyed it so much, he ordered some more….and then some more….and then some more. Pretty soon it was a weekly shipment. The Decorative store must have caught on at some point what they guy was using them for, so toward the end, they just stopped bothering with all the safe shipping packing around the pods and just started to chuck them in a box, hahaha.

Anyways, his story turned out way different then he thought it would – it turned into the above journey and exploration of poppy tea.
