| Alice Reading beside a Cup of Tea Roger de la Fresnaye - 1907 |
It's the way I nurture myself as I move through the day, revitalizing my energy as I create little mini retreats with my warm cup of tea in my hands, gazing out my window, disappearing into the quiet for a few minutes, or sitting on my patio listening to the birds.
During the heat of the summer, I like my Iced Tea during the day. I understand that iced drinks are not good for the digestive system, but this old habit is hard for me to break! Especially when it is so delicious!
A cup of tea in the evening helps to quiet my mind and relax my body so I can rest. A nice Peppermint or Chamomile Tea is perfect.
I can't remember when I started drinking tea. I do remember drinking tea with my grandmother when I was a very young child. I still love to have a cup of tea with friends and family.
"Paint me an eternal tea-pot,
for I usually drink tea from eight o'clock at night
to four o'clock in the morning."
