It’s time for some tea. For me, afternoon tea is about indulging in some ‘me-time’ and taking a moment to relax and enjoy some delicate savouries. It’s kind of like a mini special occasion, with a treat. A chance to sit and chat with a friend, read a book or simply enjoy the day with a hot beverage. I realized today, when I wanted to do just that, that I don’t own a proper tea set. And it doesn’t quite feel like a fancy little occasion when you use coffee cups. Time to go shopping.

Here’s what I found so far: I’m leaning towards the black tea set…surprise. All though, the lavender is quite pretty and I like the tea pot that comes with that set a lot more. Decisions, decisions.

Sometimes I need a break from coffee and switch to tea.

Did you know that white tea contains more antioxidants than green tea? Coffee also contains antioxidants, but in a much lower concentration. And coffee has around twice the amount of caffeine as tea. Coffee is great for that quick jolt of energy. Tea offers more of a “slow burn” sustained energy boost. That’s kind of what I need today...a slow burn.
