Funny how this posting starts to catch on once you decide to roll with it. I now think, "oh yeah, I could blog about that..." guess it's the sign that there's much to say or write. Time for tea...almost.
I love tea. I have fond memories all relating to tea. My stepmom and I would drink tea at 4 pm every day when I was in middle school. We'd make a nice cup of English Breakfast Tea and sink into the couch to watch the day's viewing of Oprah. *This is when I liked Oprah...now, not too much * My mom would make tea and coffee for me on Saturday afternoons when I was in high school and college. When visiting my grandma in Boston, we would sit in her kitchen and talk for hours over a nice cup of Tetley tea. Now, I offer tea to all my friends who come over for a visit. Tea is like the best welcome sign. It says, "Come, rest, let's chat for awhile and let the weight of the world fall off our shoulders..."
Not only is tea amazing as a "thing to do", but consider all the flavors and ways to make tea. It's fun to see the cultures appear when one makes a special brew. In England, it's always a lump of sugar and a little milk. In Asia, we hear of green tea with all the anti-oxidants to keep you growing healthy for years to come. In America, I've seen many people add honey and lemon, especially to fight off a cold. So, what about you? What do you put in your tea?
Lastly, tea is so wonderful that people use it in mottoes and quotes. Take for example the following quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. " I would tend to agree.
So have I convinced you enough that tea is better then coffee? :-)
On a different note, I saw this video today and promptly starting crying. Yes, the freshly applied face of make-up gently rolled down my cheeks because the duo was that good. I'm a sucker for the underdog. Hope you enjoy the link! Maybe you want to watch it with a good cup of tea :)
