Mellow Monday: Morning Tea

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. :)

  5. 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!

  7. 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

  8. 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

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

  11. 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.

    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)

  17. 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.
