Yellow rose tea pot displayed on wicker/iron bed tray in our guest room. 1. I wish I had grown up drinking hot tea as a child the way
2. I remember drinking coffee for breakfast, I can’t remember how young I was, but I do remember drinking coffee as a teenager. I drank it with lots of milk and sugar!
3. This is how my love affair with tea began: When I was a junior in high school my boyfriend took me to visit his mother. She was a tea drinker (from up north!) She offered me tea in a pretty china tea cup! That was all it took, I was hooked! I started drinking hot tea.
4. I like my hot tea with lemon and sugar. I don’t care for it with milk. My husband prefers milk in his hot tea. (He’s from up north!) When using sugar lumps (my favorite) I must have two! I like honey, but don't care for it in my hot tea.
5. I stopped drinking coffee when I was about 22. I was pregnant with my first child and the coffee made me very sick. I haven’t had it since!
6. Weird thing is – I do love to smell coffee perking (does it still perk?) but hate the bitter taste. Yep, that’s weird!
7. Nope, I didn’t marry that boyfriend from high school, but I remained friends with his mother who introduced me to tea, and started another love affair (with tea!)

I love your teapot with the yellow roses. It is beautiful. Wait till you see the 'new' dishes I found at the Goodwill yesterday. I'll be sharing them in the next couple of days. I thought of you when I bought them. Yep, you guessed it - yellow roses. ~Adrienne~
Hello Katherine, not sure exactly how I ended up here. But your blog on tea caught my attention. I love tea, and teacups, teapots, tea parties, just about all things tea. I drink coffee two or three times a week when I am on the run and need caffeine boost. But tea, that is a moment of celebration, quite and contemplative. First thing in the morning last thing before bed. hmmm I am going on and on here, I might need to blog about this too!
Nice to meet you!
Oh just got through reading through all your recent tea blogs. I am inspired.
It really is special to be served tea in a beautiful china cup. It was so kind of your old boyfriend's mother to introduce you to hot tea.
I still drink coffee. Sometimes, especially with chocolate, it just tastes right. But coffee has no elegance, requires nothing and evokes no special feelings. I can drink coffee in a paper cup from McDonalds. Can you imagine doing that with hot tea and enjoying it!
Katherine, What a beautiful teapot and cup and your comments were so interesting.
Oh, what beatiful teapot and cup... lovely! I do too have a predilection for these lovely things....
Have a pretty day!

What a lovely way to display the beautiful teapot, cup and saucer.
What a pretty picture, Katherine! I enjoyed reading about your love affair with tea. I've only been drinking tea for the past 4 or 5 years, but I love it! Two lumps for me too. :0)
Hugs,

It is interesting to read how you came to like hot tea. I guess I'm a wanna-be tea drinker. I still have to have my coffee in the morning and I've become somewhat picky about it lately. I'm not sure that is a good thing;-) I do like to fix a cup of tea on chilly afternoons. Earl Grey and Lady Grey are two favorites. I usually put a half teaspoon of honey in mine, but I also like it plain. Sometimes I will put milk and a little sugar in. I do love the clink of a china cup and I understand how that got you hooked!
I love your blog, Katherine! BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing all the lovely thoughts and pictures. I look forward to visiting again soon!
