lovely write, sara - is this some product made from a beaver's gland or it that just a brand name?

Awesome poem; I love tea but I'm not sure I would want to try a beaver's castor gland...maybe, if I wasn't told what it was beforehand! Well at least it isn't BEIBER's castor gland--all the more worse! Best of luck in the contest. Always, Laura

Sara, I never heard of a beaver's castor gland. Is it extracted from real beavers? As a tea drinker, this could add more flavor to my cuppa. Very nice tail rhyme. Winning wishes for you, dear. Love, Carolyn
