A gray day, light rain – all foreseen: a good excuse to make a pot of tea and, in the doing so, to reflect upon why this is such a comforting activity.
I am a coffee drinker as any of my family
or friends know, but occasionally I “do” tea.
This has come from partaking in a “cuppa”
with so many friends. To the point that just getting out a teapot brings fond
memories of conversations and sharing.
If at home tea is usually something I drink
if I awake too early and it then precedes breakfast coffee, in the mountains I
have tea often as a welcome change from water -
making a pot almost as soon as I have
finished with my coffee and breakfast.
Just this past week I had lunch with two
very close friends, both of whom I have known for over 40 years. The one gave
each of the other two of us the lovely small flowering balls of Jasmine tea –
we were celebrating our common birthday. The container and tea had stayed in my
car and was a wonderful reminder this morning of friendship and time shared
with these two particular women.
