Lately, I have begun to think that it may just be about the ritual of making tea.

The Republic of Tea has so many flavors, too many to list, but a few that are my list to try are Get Happy Tea, Get Relaxed Tea, Get Gorgeous Tea, Pomegranate Green Tea, and the
I can’t imagine a tea making me any happier, but what the heck – I’m game. The Good Hope Vanilla Red Tea sounds delicious and conjures up a moment on a porch swing. The Natural Hibiscus
What about you? Are you a tea drinker? What is your favorite flavor or brand?
I thought you might enjoy viewing part of my tea cup collection. I love having friends over and letting them choose a tea set for the visit. Each friend chooses a different one and they each have their favorite. It’s the little things that add so much to our visit.
As you can see, my cupboards are full of colorful Mary E. china
