For as long as I can remember (which at my age exactly how long varies from day-to-day) I have enjoyed a hot cup of tea<\/a> or homemade hot chocolate<\/a>, and it always seems to taste<\/a> better when served in a pretty cup and saucer. Lately, I have begun to think that it may just be about the ritual of making tea. When I get up in the morning, I find that I need and enjoy that little block of time where I go through the motions of putting the kettle on and choosing the tea for the morning, and then choosing which tea cup and sauce to use. It is a cathartic way of beginning the day for me.<\/p>\n

I have been a long time fan of Mary Engelbreit<\/a> and I have many of her tea sets<\/a>. I not only collect them, I enjoy using them. I recently discovered Emma Bridgewater Pottery and fell in love with the\u00a0Polka Dots<\/a>\u00a0line.\u00a0This is my newest tea cup<\/a> and saucer.<\/p>\n

I fell in love with the polka dots.<\/p><\/div>\n

Aren’t the dots inside of the cup and the saucer bottom just adorable?<\/p><\/div>\n

And after the tea is gone, there are still the dots.<\/p><\/div>\n

My cousin sent me a gift of tea and I have to admit, it took me a little while to try it. I am not very adventurous in trying new things. I like English Breakfast Tea<\/a> and a raspberry tea. After moving the container around the cabinet a bit as I was reaching for other items on the shelf, I thought, why not? It was really good and I have almost worked my way through the entire container of The Republic of Tea, Get Young, 36 Count<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It has a “touch of hibiscus” and I promise you, if you could taste a hibiscus, this is what it would taste like – light and airy and sweet. It is also caffeine free and contains other healthy herbs.<\/p>\n

The Republic of Tea has so many flavors, too many to list, but a few that are my list to try are\u00a0Get Happy Tea<\/a>,\u00a0Get Relaxed Tea<\/a>,\u00a0Get Gorgeous Tea<\/a>,\u00a0Pomegranate Green Tea<\/a>, and the\"\"Good Hope Vanilla Red Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I can’t imagine a tea making me any happier, but what the heck – I’m game. The\u00a0Good Hope Vanilla Red Tea<\/a>\u00a0sounds delicious and conjures up a moment on a porch swing. The\u00a0Natural Hibiscus<\/a>\"\"sounds like spring and I can’t wait to try it. I think I’ll be packing away the hot chocolate mix for the summer and I’m looking forward to a season of teas. Won’t you join me? I can’t wait to see the results of the Get Gorgeous Tea<\/a>!<\/p>\n

What about you? Are you a tea drinker? What is your favorite flavor or brand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
