The Art of Tea

There is nothing quite like a nice cuppa. I read something interesting on the net today. That is that tea is the second most popular beverage in the world, after water. It is estimated that somewhere between 18 and 20 billion 6 oz. cups of tea are drunk daily on our planet.


Wow!


Yesterday I went into The Art of Tea, in Kingston. Excellent little shop. Samantha has over 100 different types of tea available. Many of them are on display in the shop. You can open the display jars and have a smell. I was pleasantly surprised by the great variety.


As well as the leaf tea, The Art of Tea also have a choice of tea pots, strainers etc.


I strongly recommend you go in, have a look and buy some tea.


Tell Samantha we sent you.


To find their details go to www.kingboroughbusinessdirectory.com.au . Search for "the art of tea".


Till next time, Simon.


I think I'll go put the kettle on and make Lois and I a cuppa now.
Mmmm. Rooibus.
