Having Sunday Tea

                           

Tea, like companions, comes in many flavors:

Spicy, floral, rich body, and possibly with a twist of lemon.

You might need to sweeten the tea by adding conversation

(Caution: drinking it hot, might scorch your tongue!)

When you take a tea with someone you sip tales and steep time.

Remember pour generously, offer sweets.

    My weakness
    My Strength
    My Love of TEA
    This Post makes me want to…
    Go get a cup of tea !
    Don’t you find the small cups fun … and you get to pour more often and mix in your milk or sugar or whatever you might like for that particular cup.
    It seems more precious in small amounts like this too. Savored and special.
    ahhh, you got me with this one ! AGAIN!
