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.
PS: I am joining up with Wordless Wednesday at My Little Drummer Boys.
I just treated myself to a completely unnecessary tin for tea bags. And an equally unnecessary plate for holding used tea bags.
ReplyDeleteI too have the leaf tea making paraphernalia, but it's a lot of effort, and bags are so easy.
All the things you can buy are gorgeous and pretty but such a waste of money in the end. Pity I always fall for them. Rx
DeleteI have a collection of beautiful teapots & cups but I always use my old fave mug with a tea bag! I do have to say that just looking at my collection makes me happy....even if I do have to dust them! LOL!
ReplyDeleteActually, mine do make me very happy too. I knew there was a good reason I kept on investing in them. Rachel x
DeleteI was brought up with an English father who's tea making was always a ceremony!
ReplyDeleteWe are more partial to the espressomachinethatcostsamintorelse cuppa here though! Oops!
Love the story though Rach! :)
Yes, I have a Coffee machine that costs way too much too. But after 6 years, it's still going well. Cost per cup would be pretty awesome by now. Rachel x
DeleteWell, I am a coffee lover but drink at least one cup of tea per day, and you are right, a tea bag is best. I also make herbal tea with herbs from my garden, and have a small infuser tea pot for that. (They are $5 at Kmart)I make iced tea in summer from herbs as well, but use a jug for that..

Yes, you are the ultimate coffee girl. What a great idea making your own herbal iced tea, yum!! Rxx
DeleteI am a tea lover, I love a good coffee, but tea is for those quiet moments when all the kids are sleeping and I can sit in peace and quiet and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI start the day off with a coffee (or two) but switch to tea about 10am. I love the quiet when the kids are asleep too. Rx
DeleteI have lots of lovely china cups that I have collected over the years yet I still use a mug for my tea! Cup or mug it still takes good - and even better if there's 5 minutes of peace to go with it!
ReplyDeleteSometimes 5 minutes is all we need. It's funny, I have so many teacups but always use a mug for tea. :) Rachel x
DeleteI love a good cup of tea. I have pots, infusers, a tea stick... but I always find a tea bag is just so much simpler!
ReplyDeleteA tea bag is sooo much simpler and less washing up afterwards. Rxx
DeleteI'm a sucker for tea-related paraphernalia, too. That tea cosy almost makes we want to learn how to know... almost!
ReplyDeleteI know, I actually bought the tea cozy on ebay and have been looking for more ever since. I would love to be able to have some to give as gifts. Rachel x
DeleteI guess I would need to love drinking tea to appreciate tea and it apparatus. Great tea cosys though
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes it would help if you enjoyed tea. Thanks for commenting. Rachel x
DeleteI completely understand your fascination! Tea is therapeutic :) cute tea cosy x
ReplyDeleteThat's true, you can't help but relax when you have one. Thank for reading. Rachel x
