Teas of The Day

Is it a green tea day, or a day that I need an extra oomph with some black tea? Each morning I start my day with my tea ritual. Part of that ritual is deciding on which tea to choose, which best suits my mood, the weather, or activities scheduled. Much like picking my outfit to wear, I know that there’s a perfect blend to fit my day. That’s why I love to have a large variety to pick from! (Which may explain my clothes closets as well. Ha!)

I realize there are those who need to stick to their flavor or it just doesn’t jive…kind of like eating corn flakes for breakfast each day. I encourage those folks to get at least one other flavor to alternate out with. Find one that switches it up on weekends or holidays to make the time a bit more special. It becomes like a treat. And then before long, they are looking forward to the change and the exploration of new blends.

My Morning Tea Ritual

Tea is a morning habit for me which I look forward to with much zeal. I don’t quite feel like the day is started until I focus in on the ritual of making my pot-of-the-day. Filling the kettle with water, picking out which tea is just right for the day ahead, spooning the leaves into the tea press, watching the tea leaves expand and dance as they steep, pouring my first cup while deeply breathing in the aroma of the brew, holding the warm cup in my hands, admiring the gorgeous color of the liquor, slurping carefully the first few sips… ahhh. Gives me a smile just thinking about it.

I mean, it’s hard to start off the day in a huff and gruff when you’re slowed down to appreciate something that gives you so much pleasure. It’s like that morning run that gets your endorphins pumping, a quiet meditation that brings you closer to your divine, or the sweet freedom of indulging in your birthday cake.

My morning tea ritual is something simple I can do to give to myself, to savor a bit of life every day.
