Mmm Coffee

It's no secret I love coffee. I wake up early (5am early) and then have two cups one after the other. I love my Nespresso machine and the delicious coffee it makes.

Evidence from my photos from my Instagram feed.

My Nespresso stopped working and is getting fixed. All I could find in my cupboard was Nescafe 45.  Noooo. This is for my MIL when she visits.  Life is too short for bad coffee.

I think I will have a cup of tea instead.

Are you a tea or coffee person?

PS: Nespresso have been awesome. They are sending over a replacement while they fix my original machine. I only need to slum it for a few days.

A simple Cup of Tea

I love a cup of tea and the quiet little moments you have with them. I am always on the look out for tea paraphernalia that will help me make the perfect cup. 

Beautifully scented loose tea leaves,

various tea strainers,

and lovely teapots...

But it turns out that nothing is better than a simple tea bag.

Dub-a-dee

When I was little I couldn't say "cup of tea" and said "dub-a-dee" instead. After that my dad would always ask me if I would like a dub-a-dee, even as a grown up he would still ask. He passed away in 1998, I wish he would still ask me if I want a dub-a-dee.

I love tea but I think I love the tea paraphernalia more. I love my knitted Chicken Teapot cozy and for years I have been trying to find another one for a friend. 

So pretty, Royal Albert tea cups. I got these on sale at David Jones in Chermside a few years ago and I have managed not to break any.

Little silver tea spoons with fruit and vegetables on the ends. An aunt from overseas sent these as wedding gift in 2001. I love the quirkiness of them. I really should have cleaned them before this photo but I was too lazy.

If you are looking for a dub-a-dee in Redcliffe, check out Teddies n' Sweets in Cominos Arcade. I have been checking out their High Tea menu. It does look like it would satisfy a greedy tea lovin' girl.
