Who doesn’t like a cup of tea?<\/p>\n
There’s something soothing about having your favourite brew in hand. And teas take on many forms these days. Traditional English Breakfast tea, Earl Grey tea (Caffeinated and Decaffeinated varieties of course – I’m definitely with the former..), as well as varieties of herbal teas. My favourites are Peppermint and I love a Lemon and Ginger tea too.<\/p>\n
Why is tea drinking so symbolic?<\/p>\n
Perhaps it’s the ritual of brewing up, waiting for the tea to be just right and properly brewed. Clasping your hands around a hot mug of tea is soothing.<\/p>\n
Whatever it is, one thing is for sure that afternoon tea<\/strong> is possibly my most favourite meal of the day – and special treat. Perhaps even enjoyed in our of Yorkshire’s finest tea rooms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ideally tea would be leaf tea, complete with a strainer, and served in a beautiful tea pot with china cups and saucers. Perhaps it would be brewed just as Yorkshire Tea say<\/a>. There would be little finger sandwiches with delicious fillings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And of course fresh scones and homemade cakes.<\/p>\n Everything to make it mouthwateringly delicious, and to make you feel special.<\/p>\n
