It is up to each of us to make our lives interesting. To relax, dream, or plan is best spent with a cup of tea. Tea is a simple luxury, like relaxing with a good book. Tea truly enhances life with little fuss.

Tea is a ritual, whether you sit and enjoy a quiet cup or hostess a small tea party with good friends. Either way, tea means tranquility, a time to reflect. Tea can be added to any occasion, to mention just a few: welcoming a new neighbor, birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, on rainy afternoons with your children or grandchildren, even an intimate moment for two.

Maybe something as simple as waking up and sitting in your back yard listening to the morning birds, sipping tea out of your favorite cup. Or at the close of a busy day, kick your shoes off, sit in your favorite chair, savor your cup of tea.........RELAX. So whether solitary or celebratory taking tea is a ceremony of friendship and sharing.
