I stopped drinking coffee over a year ago while my pipes were being replaced and switched to tea after I got running water again.

While I was in Japan I needed to feel functional in the mornings so I started drinking a cup of coffee again. I did not want to go through any withdrawal while I was in California so I continued drinking about 250ml in the morning.

Now I need to decide whether I should go through withdrawal and back to morning tea. I did switch to drinking up some of the orange pekoe I had a few months ago so it would be a modest decrease in caffeine content.

If I do start drinking coffee again, I think I would like to drink no more than 250ml, but the coffee maker requires 2 cups.

a small cup and saucer with a packet of coffee grounds suspended in the cup by paper “wings” hanging from the edges of the cup. a torn package labeled Drip Coffee Mild Taste lies above the cup.

I swear there is a tea goblin, and they pop in when I'm not looking and take a few swigs of my tea. How does it go so fast otherwise?

Happy Saturday! I hope it’s lovely and chill! :bunhdcomfyhappy:

Today’s reminder is to stretch in a way that’s comfy for you! Because it’s almost always a good time to stop, take a deep breath, deshrimp, and stretch! Whether it’s an eye stretch break or some tendon glides, I hope it makes the day a bit nicer! :abunhdhappy:

Today’s tea is an Assam tea latte, we’ve been on a tea latte roll! What are you brewing up? :blobfoxflooftea:

I officially declare the entire month of December to be Fluffy Dragon Season. Either your dragons are naturally fluffy (a mane counts too), or you can wrap them in a cosy scarf. Who is with me? #Art #Dragon #FluffyDragonSeason #Cosy #Winter #AfterSilence #Tea #Coffee #Fantasy

A cheerful, fluffy dragon character is shown from the waist up, holding a steaming mug with both hands. The dragon has brown and cream fur, long dark hair, multiple black horns, and gold earrings. She smiles softly with closed eyes, looking cozy and content. Behind her is a teal circular background with small sparkles. Stylized text wraps around the circle, reading “Fluffy Dragon Season” in playful pink and green letters.

Meet the new love in my life 😍 Finally treated myself to a Yixing teapot, and just look at how tiny and round and cute it is!

Should probably have picked a tea I knew well to do an initial comparison, but it definitely feels like it's getting more out of the tea. Maybe it's just the better thermal properties at this stage? Looking forward to seeing how it develops as it gets properly seasoned! @tea #tea #GongFu

A Yixing Zini Black Gold teapot in the Xishi style. It is tiny, about the size of the palm of my hand!

It's almost spherical, made of an unglazed dark brown clay, with a tiny little spout.

It sits on a bamboo tea tray, next to a glass fairness jug with some amber sheng puerh tea in it.Same setup as previous pic, but showing the full tea tray from a slightly higher angle. You can now also see a white porcelain tea cup, and feline tea pet

Just broke my tea bowl. It had nothing special, it was big, it was blue. Could fit easily half a litre. It had been with me for a good 25 years, and i think i used it every single day during these years. It moved places with me quite a bit. Saw a lot of places for a bowl i reckon. I feel like i just lost a friend. I guess a chapter of my life just ended. Here ´s to a new one. Here ´s to you old friend. Im heartbroken

My wife and I don't do Christmas, but we do celebrate the winter (and summer) Solstice and we like to share an advent calendar in the preceding weeks. This year we've gone for a tea calendar, which promised 24 different types of tea. Many snack/beverage based calendars seem to only have 4-6 flavours, so I am excited for no repeats. We got to open 2 today since it just arrived in the post, the first two flavours being "tumeric spiced" and "Earl Grey citrus". They are both exactly what it says on the tin, tasting like tumeric with a bit of herbal tea in it and average green tea with mild bergamot flavour (although nothing overly citrus-y) respectively.

We have days of no rain ahead, and I am here for all the sun! Of course, this does mean watering the garden as well. The summer giveth and it destroyeth the seedlings...

The weekend has begun well: dropped off Kid1 to work and Kid3 into town, picked up medication for Jarrah before heading to Dad's, where he and I had a cuppa and a single Lindt chocolate ball each and talked about: work, diabetes (in general), landcare, plants, Tasmania and caring.

We then went food shopping and now I'm sitting down with my trolley while I wait for him to finish his groceries. Then it's dropping him home, picking up Kid1 and back to our home for lunch. Tomorrow is a coffee catch-up with a friend in the afternoon but otherwise it's a weekend with few set plans... my favourite kind.

Ooh! And yesterday Adam went to take the dogs out and checked the letterbox and then was a jar of jam in there from the person I did some flyer drops for in the recent local elections 🥰 How lovely is that?!

A closeup of the jar of jam that was in the letterbox. The lid has a red and white checkered pattern and taped to it is a brown paper label that says, Bec, Thank you for mailboxing flyers!
