LOL - instead of sneaking into a present as a recepient, we're plotting to
sneak into a gift as a giver. How perverted is that?

Yes, especially because the whole point is to get someone to buy their loose
teas.

Okay, neighbor called and was a whole lot less disturbed by the prospect
than I was...turns out that she recently received an order from Upton
(YESSSSS! My attempt to convert her from teabags is a success!) of EG, EB,
Irish Breakfast, and Scottish Breakfast and will simply dump the Adagio and
refill w/ Upton's, scratching out the Yunnan and writing in SB or making her
own label if she gets a round tuit.

Thanks - I'll pass the ideas on how to open the gift w/o tearing the paper
on to her.
