I love tea! Green, white, and herbal teas are my favorite flavors but what I really love about tea is making it. Bringing the water to the correct temperature (180 degrees for green), scooping the loose leaf tea into my strainer, pouring the water over the leaves, putting the strainer cap on, setting the timer, and waiting for the right time (3 minutes for green). I started drinking tea around the time I gave up coffee; think I was around 35 years old - it gave me the shakes but its really been the past 10 years where my love for tea has blossomed. I’ve tried all sorts of teas but in the end decided it is the process, as much as the flavor, that I enjoy. And now that I no longer have to rush out the door to work, I can enjoy something new - a relaxing second cup of tea:)
My tea kettle! Knob at bottom of kettle allows me to adjust the water temperature depending on the type of tea!
