kittyphotowelcome Welcome!

I am purposefully seeking ways to add a little more peace, joy and fun in my life; that's why I started this tea story.

Currently I am searching for a new supplier for my tea. So I’m visiting websites and ordering different blends every month. I’ll be posting about my finds along with my visits to tea rooms.

It’s always the perfect time for a cup of tea. Won’t you join me?

Healing Honeysuckle

I had some Healing Honeysuckle today.  It sounded good to me because I’ve got another dang sinus infection.  Anything to boost the immune system is helpful.  Breathing in the warm vapor and drinking the hot tea is soothing to the raw tissues.  Plus, it just tastes good!
