I’ve decided I want to take some time to slow down and do something deliberate at least once a week. I’m blatantly stealing Milkyboots’ weekly cheese ritual, but doing a weekly tea ritual instead.
For my first week, I’m having some Tazo Rest tea. I have the tea bags and the ingredients are: rose petals, honeybush, orange peel, lemon verbena, lemon balm, lemon peel, natural flavors, licorice root, valerian root, ginger, lavender, lemon essence oil, orange essence oil, and Chinese geranium oil. It’s kinda like drinking flowers, but in the best way possible. Normally, I’d add a bit of sugar to this tea, but I decided to keep it simple tonight.
I’m using a fancypants tea cup and saucer covered in violets that my grandmother bought me during Christmas 2012, along with a little teapot that I think my mom got me a while ago. I don’t normally use a teapot, but I wanted to have a couple of cups of this tea. The coasters are from a set of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room coasters Dalice and I got in Disney World in 2013.
