Are you a tea drinker? January is National Hot Tea month. Tea is the perfect beverage for a cold, snowy afternoon in the winter. And nothing tastes better than iced tea on a hot, hot day in the summer. Tea has many benefits. It’s high in polyphenols, a type of anti-oxidant that may protect our cells from the DNA damage that can cause many diseases. There are many sites on the web where you can learn all about different teas, tea settings, and tea parties.
Around three o’clock is my tea time. I love making a small pot to enjoy midday. For Christmas this year I received a gift card for Bed Bath and Beyond from my son and his wife. In Knoxville we stopped and I found a wonderful wooden tea chest to hold my tea bags. It is filled right now with many different flavors of Bentleys’ tea.
Before Christmas I found this metal tea tray with poinsettias on it which is perfect for winter tea. I use my Chinese teapot that Linda gave me a few years ago and take my tea with lemon and honey.
Sometimes I use my favorite tea tray with my royal Copenhagen tea cup that I purchased in Denmark.
Here are some of my favorite quotes about tea. Let’s have tea together.

I loved the tea sayings and I also have a tray set up for tea time.
