I’m just finishing my 3rd coffee of the day (I really need to cut down again!) and just wondered what hot drink other people prefer? Are you a coffee drinker or do you prefer tea or perhaps you like herbal tea (good flavour recommendations welcome!) or something else? How do you take your tea/coffee/other. I drink strong black coffee with no milk or sugar but with half cold water due to sensitive gums; I don’t drink tea but do drink herbal teas depending on the flavour, lemon, ginger and manuka honey is a current favourite but peppermint and liquorice is a recent fail on the herbal tea front!
In our home it has always been tea. My family runs back for many generations according to my Gran and we're terribly British so every day my mother and father have tea in a china cup and saucer which is also generations old.
I grew up on tea as well and also drink it. I find coffee okay but only drink it every now and then.
Thanks for sharing! Do your mother and father have one of those traditional China tea sets?
Yes they do actually. The set has been I'm the family for a long time since about my great great great grandfather I believe.
No worries! That’s amazing that your family has so many antique items. Good to that they’ve been passed down through the generations. I have an old suitcase of my Grandma’s, one of the old fashioned ones, with clippings of the royal family dating back to 1953. I also have many of her old books which I’ve kept.
Sorry for the late response, hi again!
Yes I believe it is. We have, or I should say, my parents have many items in the house which are now antiques such as old ornaments, an organ and a grandfather clock. I believe its all been in the family for many many years.
Out of it all though the favourite is my mother's teaset.
Oh wow! I remember those China tea sets from when I was a child! The one in your family seems as though it must be antique by now?
