Let's talk about tea!

In the summer I enjoy fresh peppermint tea (mint seems to be one of the few plants that grow in my garden 😭). Now that the mint is dormant, I've been mixing oolang (for its health benefits) with jasmine and rooibos to soften the flavor.

Also, I love my electric kettle, it makes boiling water so quick and easy!

The photo is my most treasured tea pot which I inherited from my grandma. Let's see your beautiful tea related china!

I enjoy lemon verbena tea! I have a plant in my garden and it's delicious. I also grew chamomile last year but the tea was very bitter so not my favourite.

We really tried to grow lemon verbena and I wish it had done well enough to make tea. If it's that good I might try again! I think we need to try a spot with less intense sun and make sure it doesn't dry out too much.

Your grandma, but like, hip.

Cottagecore is an internet aesthetic popularised by adolescents and young adults celebrating an idealized rural life. Originally based on a rural English and European life, it was developed throughout the 2010s and was first named cottagecore on Tumblr in 2018.
