It’s always time for tea!

 Welcome!

Well, I am going to try to make this new Blogger format work. I have had limited success in the past couple of months. I keep hoping they will work the bugs out sooner rather than later.

😕

So, today’s blog adventure is 

All About Tea

I think this cutting is by Julene Harrison

There’s just something about a hot cup of tea...

Vintage advertisement (1920-1930)

We have recently had snow (!),
so out came the boxes of tea that have been put away for the summer.
We are pretty much hot tea drinkers only.

Colder temperatures call for hot tea!

One of my favorite artists, Inge Look

Okay, just gave up on the new format.
I am Sooo glad I can switch to the old one.
That goes away the end of this month.

So many kinds of tea...
here is a nice chart to help with steeping times:

Tip:
Pour hot water into your cup first, then empty.
Now put your tea of choice in and add hot water.
It helps the steeping time and taste.

of tea
that leads us into a world
of quiet contemplation of life.”

a cup of tea

to clear my muddle of a head

I should better understand

your affairs.”

Well, that’s it for today!
Thank you, sincerely, for taking the time
to read my meanderings
and letting me share beautiful art with you.
Oh yes! and also for giving me a place
to share paper dolls, quotes and poems.

Truth:
 (usually discovered either before coffee, or 10 am)
Be aware when pouring boiling water from the kettle;
it works best if the spout is actually 
over the cup.
