A Cup of Tea {in my grandmother's tea cup}
Last September I told you I had become a coffee lover after a recent trip to Italy. I fell in love with Italian espresso and have been drinking it ever since. Before that I was an avid tea drinker and although coffee is now my favorite wake up call, I am still a tea lover at heart. I just drink it later in the day as a way to relax instead of waking up with it. There is something soothing about sitting down to a cup of tea. It can be an afternoon recharge or a quiet way to end the evening. There are so many varieties to choose from and lots of benefits to drinking it. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite "tea" things today. Happy Friday!
I'm a big fan of loose tea. I like to buy different varieties but Ceylon is my favorite.
I love this little gadget called the ingenuiTEA. It's the coolest way to brew loose tea.
Decaffeinated Ceylon Tea from Harney & Sons is my favorite afternoon tea. It has all the flavor of a good black tea without the buzz.
Tea should be poured into something pretty. I bought this hand painted mug on a trip to Alaska. It's one of my favorites.
I love the flavor of lemon in tea. And I'm a huge fan of lemon wedges because you can't squeeze skinny slices! Silly but true.
Whether you enjoy tea or coffee, pour a cup, relax and enjoy the moment. Have a wonderful weekend!
