Tea has always been my beverage of choice....after water. My everyday tea is PG Tips, not gourmet by any means, but the brand I was raised on. The water must be boiled and the tea brewed in a teapot for me. No bag in a cup of warm water with the string dangling over the side, like a fishing line, with a wee label on the end like a lure. I never cottoned onto to that look, or taste. I want the tea leaves to float freely in the boiling water, and slowly release their flavor. Not hurried, but in their own time.
I want a cup of tea that is treated with the respect it deserves. After all it makes me stop, practice a little self-care, then offers me the comfort of a warm embrace from tea times past, whilst offering me the opportunity to be fully present, here now, with this cup.
The following video of blooming teas is a feast for the eyes, and hopefully the taste buds. A joy for the senses. I offer to you......................
