JaM & Tea


Jody asks us this week have you got a favourite tea pot or maybe a china tea cupand are you lucky like me and have favourite person to drink it with?


I rarely make a pot of tea because when I want a cup I want it NOW. But I do have a favourite mug. Mum gave it to me after I broke my last one.  A cup of tea just isn't the same unless you use your favourite mug and it has to be a mug not a little cup that holds only a couple of sips. It usually takes me a while to find a mug that feels right but this one was perfect.

Sometimes it is nice to have a cup and saucer and this one is pulled out of the cupboard. It is actually quite a big cup. My sister in law gave it to me years ago.  It fits perfectly in my kitchen with it's green stripes and very gorgeous chooks.
Usually I drink me tea whereever, sitting at the table at lunch, at the computer while typing Blog posts like this, in my chair in the lounge room reading a book and sometimes outside somewhere. Never in the sewing room because I usually find it half full and cold somewhere because I get distracted.
So where do you drink your tea and do you use a cup or a mug, a bag or a pot?

I understand all the about the perfect mug, it's got to be just right or the tea doesn't taste the same.
Have a great day
