Mellow Monday: Morning Tea

mellow mondays, photography, teal

The first thing I do in the morning is put on the kettle and make myself some black tea. I am not much of a coffee drinker mostly because I get too hyper although I love the taste of it and I will treat myself to a frothy latte once in awhile. The tea gives me just enough caffeine to get my day going and its especially tasty on a rainy day. :)

Here are a few of my favorite tea illustrations from Tabi Designs!

What are some of your morning rituals?

  First thing I do is reach for the kettle too. I can't function without my coffee! I'm cutting down in 2010 though to just 2 cups a day maxiumu!! :-)
  Have a great day!

  I love photos of cups of tea, coffee, breakfast, they make me so calm and happy:)
  I like the idea of drinking tea but I am a coffee person. Okay, this sounded a bit weird but I love having something to drink all day long. I sometimes drink two or three coffees a day (coffee doesn't really affect my sleep much) but drinking tea, especially in that quantity is way healthier! The only tea I really enjoy is thyme (add a toast, butter and feta cheese and you get my favourite breakfast).
  
  Hope your week is lovely! xo

  Pretty photos! I am trying to switch back over to tea, I've been told that 3 cups everyday for 5 months will have you looking years younger-- or something to that effect. It's hard not to start my morning off w/ a latte because of our awesome expresso maker, i love making them almost as much i love drinking them! haha

  Beautiful photos and illustrations, I could have this lovely colage on my kitchen wall and look at it every morning!

  A cuddle in bed from my little man and then a coffee made from scratch for me by my husband. Love the morning.

  Such beautiful photos. My morning routine is the same as yours, actually; I like to get up before anyone else is awake, and have a nice cup of tea as I enjoy the quietness of the house. It makes me feel very much at peace. The tea has to be very strong, with only a little milk, and one and a half sugars. I'm a bit particular about it :)
  
  Gorgeous post, as always.

  I'm totally into my Tea too...and coffee does the same to me...great for getting the house clean though...
  a friend just taught me how to make a traditional Chai Tea...really lovely.
  Perhaps I'll post about it...it was mellow and warming on a winter's day.
  LOVE the illustrations.

  Loved your exposition!
  I also just L O V E tea! I have it every morning! I agree with you, it gives me the right amount of caffeine!
  (except now that I am in Rio and it is way too hot for me, so I get just a small cup of coffee every morning)

  I love photos of tea in in the morning. What a wonderful gallery you have found. I am a tea drinker too. I usually like to make myself a chai tea latte with soymilk in the morning because I'm addicted, but when I'm not drinking that, my favorite is Green Jasmin Blossom.

  I'm a tea drinker, too...green tea. (I've never been a coffee person). Tea always makes my morning better!
18. melissa said... January 4, 2010 at 6:53 PM
  
  i think i am going to have to go make myself a cup now, after seeing those lovely images!

  I'm definitely a big tea drinker! My friend just brought me over 400 tea bags from Kenya (major source of great black tea from all the tea plantations) and I've been in my own private tea-drinking heaven!!

  For me it is coffee--but these images make tea seem so much more romantic!
