*sob* I'm sad my favourite mug is broken. I have one of 4 left. |
Before I have to get up, and start thinking about school lunches, socks and lost library books or permission notes or anything else I needed to do ...yesterday !
I was to'tea'lly delighted when I received a little hamper of Fairtrade tea.

Tea! thou soft, thou sober, sage, and venerable liquid,... thou female tongue-running, smile-smoothing, heart-opening, wind-tippling cordial, to whose glorious insipidity I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate. ~Colley Cibber, Lady's Last Stake
I drink all kinds of tea , my favourite is a mug of strong Australian Afternoon for breakfast and English Breakfast all during the day (I'm a bit of a tea rebel) and lots of green tea. Green tea is ultra healthy and filled to the brim with antioxidants, so I'm trying to drink more of it . Plus organic tea is my tea of choice.

I like Chai tea but I'm not drinking much milk right now - so it's a rare treat.
All tea is good for you.

It was Fairtrade Fortnight ~ May 4 – 19th - creating awareness and the opportunity to support Fairtrade products. I'm trying to be more conscious about what I buy.
Fairtrade have provided this fabulous giveaway of 3 tea hampers, for My Little Drummer Boy Readers.
What is Fairtrade
...is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.
Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, by requiring companies to pay sustainable prices ,which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives and their community through better schooling and improved health services.
I'm curious -
Do you prefer a cup or a mug ?
Do you use a Teapot ?
Do you Jiggle or Dangle ?
Who wants to knit me a tea cosy ?

You can have chai tea without the milk. I made my own chai syrup once from this recipe http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/chai-tea-syr...
It says to use the syrup with warm milk (which is nice) but it tastes good too with just water.

I love tea.
I prefer a mug, the bigger the better.
I rarely use a tea pot (time is of the essence) but I have a good collection of them. As I do loose leaf tea, which I rarely have time for either :-)
I am neither a jiggler or a dangler as I leave my tea bag in my mug.

I don't really have a favourite. I love how there is a tea available for however I am feeling at the time.
I prefer my tea brewed in a pot. In the morning and nights I'd prefer a mug. For morning tea I love a cup.
I jiggle and I dangle.
Right now I am savouring a cup of english breakfast (made in a pot) while my munchkin sleeps and I knit. :)
Which just happens to be my favourite moment.

Every morning, my dad gets up and makes mum the first cuppa of the day; she drinks it in bed. I remember her doing this when I was a child (30 years ago!)
Then throughout the day, they make each other cups of tea. It always amazes me that they never tire of it, even on very hot days they will still drink tea. I love when they come over for a visit and they have a cuppa and a chat. Its really nice to just be with them and enjoy their company.
