Addiction#16: Tea

This addiction snuck up on me and I may need a 12 step program fast! Maybe it was when my friend Leah suggested I visit the Chinese Gardens? Or when Maggie enabled my addiction by buying me a gorgeous teacup and saucer set at an antique store on the OR coast ( I owe you for that Featherz)? It could be that I never played "Tea Time" as a child and I'm making up for lost time. Anyway, I'm still addicted to cappuccinos, but the variety of flavors a cup of tea delivers is wonderful! The cups are so delicate and feminine too. I can't be monogamous to my caps anymore... Jasmine is my flavor of the week.

Tea Time

I'm beginning to get addicted to tea. Not a bad thing at all.
The aromas and bold flavors have a calming effect on me.
Moroccan Mint is on my top 5.
This lovely setting above is from the Chinese Garden downtown.
The treats of kumquats, chestnuts, candied lotus seeds and
winter melon represent five blessings of the New Year:
health, wealth, longevity, virtue and happiness.
I drink to that;)
