I was telling @flaccidfervor the other day at @caffetto that I was giving up carbonated drinks and coffee. To be honest, I was never into these type of drinks until I met @kommienezuspadt. When I’m exposed to certain foods daily then it’s hard to not partake. I also have a hard time declining anything that is offered to me.
Which reminds me of a time when I was offered a glass of water at a meeting. I wasn’t the least bit thirsty but I thought it would be rude to decline. I was left holding a cold glass and found my palms slightly damp from the condensation.
Please wait for the gifs to load...
I love the scent of tea. Yesterday, I was craving something with more citrus but the only tea that was on hand had cloves in it. Cloves are too strong for me and I think soups which contain heavy amounts of cloves have ruined my taste for it. I ended up going with my usual Earl Grey tea.
The conditions to create were at it’s peak in these moments. The light from the sun in combination with the scent of tea was warm and comforting. I also feel most at peace while watching the steam dance from the cup.
Since I was craving citrus @flaccidfervor suggest that I add a little bit of lemon juice. It was an idea brought to her from another barista and it seemed to be gaining some popularity. Soon @caffetto will have too many fancy drink combinations to chose from! I’m excited to give them all a try!
There is something mesmerizing and almost erotic about watching honey slowly drip into the cup. I also enjoy the sound the spoon makes as it scratches and chimes as I stir.
The tea definitely played it’s part in inspiring the image for the 14th week of my fox tales writing contest. You can read more about the contest and see the progress images here.
Oh no, I've delegated all my SP, so I can no longer offer my "two cents". I will always have honey and lemon for you though ;) Your drawing makes me want to climb into a hot cup of tea and steep for awhile.
Hahaha, I appreciate the thought and thank you for the awesome tea. I’ll take any fancy tea cups you’ll have on hand for my next visit! I also didn’t notice how much the tea impacted this drawing until I stopped to look at it this morning.
Digging those GIF's!
Thanks man! I’m a visual person so they’re my guilty pleasure, it’s hard to not share. Oh and where have you been? @kommienezuspadt and I saw your doppelgänger awhile back and it made us think of you!
Well that makes my heart swell! Just your normal excuses, busy with school and my new business venture. Really just being a big Puttz. It looks like you three have been getting out a bit and traveling. Looks like fun!
wow..amazing photography,
i appreciate your blog,
thanks for sharing this art..............resteemit.
Thanks!
You have an amazing GIF there. I love honey and lemon tea and sometimes i go for ginger with it. Give you my tiny winy vote.
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I actually enjoy ginger in a lot of my drinks. I’ll sometimes use it when I’m juicing.
Honey lemon tea! Hot or cold
Green tea
Earl grey milk tea 😍
Peppermint tea
Also love the traditional Thai tea - very very fragrant
I’ve never tried Earl Grey with milk. I’ll have to give that a shot!
Sorry! Actually referring to the bubble tea. Where I live in Sydney you can order an earl grey milk tea which is 👍🏼
Lovely. And I love early grey, being such a fan of bergamot. I even grow it in my herb/tea garden in the summer (it being a form of 'bee balm')
I love cloves, though, and there was a time when I loved to indulge in an occasional clove cigarette or two.
One of my favourite teas is a Harney and son blend "Hot cinnamon sunset" as it has cinnamon and dried citrus in as well as good strong black Assam tea.
I better go check out your project now!
Lemon Ginger and honey for me please.
I am a tea lover! I love Casablanca by Mariage and any organic jasmine I can get my hands on. Loved your gifs!!!!
I don't drink coffee, but I love tea. Green tea is my favorite, and @donvee got me a great Jasmine green tea for Christmas. I really like lady grey too.
Oh wonderful, wonderful gifs * __ * amg now i want some hot ginger lemon tea <3 I am a bit like you in that I get swept up by the things my friends are doing.... hahaha... it's communal, isnt it? It's a mean of connecting and acknowledging someone's influence in your life, and friends are very affecting that way :>
This is a beautiful post, and that sneak peak picture at the end is so beautiful * ___ * I am excited!
