TEA TIME

I've always loved tea. I prefer it over coffee. I used to just unceremoniously plunk down a teabag in my hot water-filled mug. But, I wanted my tea time to have a bit of pizzazz so I scoured everywhere for a cute teapot, teacup and saucer. Good thing there are some teacups and saucers at home and I even found a silver tray to go with my set, as well as a cute ceramic pink teaspoon. I couldn't find a small teapot at home, so I got it at a store. It's so cute! It's the perfect size! It even has the message Le Petit Cadeau (which means "The Little Gift") printed on it. Adorbs!

I wanted my tea time to be authentic so I made some cucumber sandwiches to go with my tea. I used to eat cookies or cupcakes with my tea, but nowadays, I prefer less sweet things so I go with sandwiches. If there are no cucumbers available at home, I make peanut butter and banana sandwiches or tomato and cream cheese sandwiches. I want to try eating madeleines with my tea next time. Just to change it up a bit.

Anyhoo, here is my tea time set-up: 

I usually have green tea. But, lately I've been drinking ginger tea. I'm trying to finish up a box of it before it expires. There are different kinds of teas lying around the house so I have to consume it otherwise it will all go to waste. As soon as I finish it up, I'll go back to my beloved green tea. 

My favorite brand is Celestial Seasonings. I love the Decaf Mint Green Tea. 

It is a refreshing drink that calms me and makes me happier. Afterwards, I pop it in the ref to cool it down and then place it over my eyes to get rid of eye bags and dark circles under my eyes. That way, I take care of my tummy and my eyes. ;-)

I also love Twinings Apple, Cinnamon and Raisin Flavoured Black Tea.

Okay, tea time talk is over, but before I go, let me just share with you my tea time angel who looks over me whenever I take a break from the hustle and bustle of life.
