Tea Rituals

Tea

My tea cravings changes with the seasons and more often than not, with the day as well. Today was a Lapsang Souchong day. I took a mug down to my office and cupped my hands around the heat; the taste brings memories of smoky campfires and a moonlit lake, sparks wafting up in the darkness.

Love the image Debbie. I'm also a huge tea fan. I love http://stashtea.com" rel="nofollow">Stash Tea because they have such a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Today, I sipped Chanakara's white lotus herbal tea. I'll have to check out adagio teas, thanks!

Techno: I used Corel Painter, but applied a surface texture and then used the Chalk tool.

Jme: I love Stash Tea as well! Hmmm...I've never tried white lotus herbal tea; I'll have to look for that!

Love this image, Debbi. I'm a big tea fan too. You just can't rush a cup of tea.
