Appreciating the Small Things

My family are predominantly coffee drinkers. To be honest, I've always been more of a social coffee drinker, tea or chai lattes are my preference. We have family gatherings on Sundays for lunch, and these always end with coffee. This week I decided to brew a pot of tea instead. So I pulled out the teapot, a teacup and saucer and the milk jug and served it all up, much to my family's amusement. I don't know what you can attribute this too, but I do believe that the tea actually tasted better out of a teacup than it does out of a mug! My family weren't convinced, and I don't think I'm converting them to drinking out of teacups anytime too soon.

However, I think sometimes in life it's important to take pleasure out of the little things, and that includes drinking tea out of teacups (if that is your desire). If there's one thing that I'm continually learning, it is that we can never take things for granted. Life is too precious, in one moment, everything can change.

So with that in mind, check out this link to a cafe in Blenheim that serves tea in china cups! Love!

A Cup of Tea...

What is high tea without a good cup of tea? A good cup of tea really does make everything better. So with that in consideration, I want to tell you about my new favourite tea – Dilmah Vanilla Ceylon Tea. The aromatic tea has a delightful light and smooth flavour, with a hint of vanilla. I take mine with milk, making it slightly creamy though I imagine it would also taste good black.

Dilmah Vanilla Ceylon Tea is also ethically grown and produced, so really, what more could you ask for in a tea?

I’ve found it a little hard to track down, tasting it for the first time when staying at a friend’s bach (holiday house). Another friend who has done some work for Dilmah managed to get some for me, but I have now seen it in my local supermarket.

Note: I am in no way affiliated with Dilmah or any other company that does work with Dilmah.

I’m excited to be going to high tea at the Parnell Rose Gardens next weekend, so watch out for that review coming soon…
