The Daily Cup

I think that at least one cup of tea is essential. There are endless benefits, helps to ward off cancer, lowers blood clots, antioxidants, and bla bla bla. Those things all have their place but there is also something spiritual to drinking tea. It sooths the mind and prepares it to experience life. So for that reason alone one cup is essential. You can take your time and brew a fine full leaf tea, or you can do the hurry up method of popping a tea bag into a mug, either way one cup is essential.
Today I didn't have the time for a full leaf tea, that takes a certain amount of respect that I wasn't able to give.

Twinings brand green tea. On sale at Albertsons. It does the trick in a pinch.

I take what I can get though, and on my way out this morning I was able to prepare my mind and body for the day.
