My Nana used to make me hot-toddies (virgin of course) to sooth my fevered aches and pains.
My father would ply me with warm mugs of milky Assam and we would watch the leaves fall, the snow drift, or sit and quietly play board games.
My mother would make me large cups of chamomile to sooth me after an upset or before bed.
Yet my love for tea and all things tea related developed recently.
It started with old porcelain tea sets and silver teapots, then tea trays and tea towels, before progressing to tea prints, tea shops, tea houses, tea tins, loose leaf tea, tea accessories, tea recipes, and finally to the history and production of tea.
The end, my being fully obsessed with all things tea and the proud owner of five tea pots, a cupboard full of tea, 14 tea cups and saucers, and a Japanese ice tea brewer - along with other random bits and pieces of tea paraphernalia.
In a nutshell this is an outlet for my tea mania and my curiositea!
