Nothing quite as refreshing...

...as a lovely cup of tea.

And what is the perfect thing to do on a cold winter day, traces of snow outside, cozy warm inside? Brew a perfect pot of tea.

"The perfect temperature for tea is two degrees hotter 

than just right."

- Terri Guillemets

After enjoying a brisk afternoon out and about, or taking care of chores in the house,  it’s so comforting to relax and rejuvenate with a cup of tea.

I love this adorable teapot set that Erin brought me from England. It’s perfect for a 2 cup afternoon tea break, and the brewing tea warms up the cup nicely. The saying on the pot is, “ Nothing quite as refreshing as a lovely cup of Rosie Lea.” The Rosie Lea is actually Cockney rhyming slang for tea.

Today’s tea: Assam. It’s grown in the Brahmaputra Valley in northeast India and has an almost malty, strong taste.

Perfect.

"One sip of this will bathe the drooping spirits in delight beyond the bliss of dreams.”
