Tea Time

There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.  ~Bernard-Paul Heroux

We enjoy a good cup of tea around here.  While we still start our day with coffee, we enjoy a nice cup of tea in the afternoon and finish many an evening off with a nice cup of Rooibos.  Even Liam will enjoy a cup of Chai with us when it's cold out.

The problem is that once you are labelled as "tea drinkers" it makes for an easy gift.  I've even fallen prey to that, picking up new and unusual flavours for Hilary.  Eventually though, you are faced with this:


That all came out of the tea cupboard today.  Some of them are at least several years old, and one I had no idea where it even came from or why we would have ever bought it.  These have all now found there way into the compost and we have a nice tidy cupboard of fresh tea that even had room for the new teapot that Liam bought Hilary for Christmas.

I always love refreshing our tea cupboard at the beginning of winter! I also love that Liam bought Hilary a tea pot! :)

We have a tea drawer in our pantry because we have this same problem. I've declared a moratorium on the purchase of any tea except black tea which we go through fairly quickly. Clearly I need to drink more tea.
