-The TeeTotalers

I would to like tell you about the TeeTotaler family

They work and deal in tea

A relaxed and helpful group of people

A warm, mellow, comforting, uplifting family


Chai is the father

Known in town  as ‘The King Of Tea’

A kind , giving, quiet man

Though can be a bit spicy


Rosehip is Mumma Tea… Chai’s wife

They call her Rosie

Chai’s beloved childhood sweetheart

Rosie has a fruity nature but can be a somewhat tangy


Chai and Rosie have four children

Twin girls ….. Jasmine and Chamomile 

Known as Chammy and Jaz

Lovely, warm ,caring girls…. always seen with a smile


Chammy has a very calm nature

Jazzy is smart with excellent mental clarity

Both are easy going girls

Always laughing and happy


There are three boys in the TeeTotaler family

Ginger known to all as Blue, 

Peppermint known as Pepper 

 And Hemp the oldest …who to his name he is true


Blue is a warm natured boy

Though at times a little cheeky 

A kind and gentle little helper

But like his dad can be a wee bit spicy


Peppermint who is known to all as Pepper

Is a focused and clear minded boy

He brings brightness and freshness to all

Popular, confident though sometimes a little coy


Lastly,  there is Hemp… the TeeTotalers adult son

Hemp no longer lives at home

A hard worker and strong individual

Who is continually and happily stoned!
