The Art of the Hot Drink

I LOVE a good hot drink.

Teas and Coffees and the multitude of flavors there in.



I love the aesthetics of holding a hot/warm mug in your hands

So cozy!

Also this... why don't I own this yet?

There's something wonderful about a good blend of tea--when it's interesting and exciting with multiple flavors that work together. 

I love simple syrups infused with herbs and flavors that highlight the coffee in a latte. 

This week and last I had a couple fantastic blends. The Soothsayer--a chamomiles citrus blend, The Citrus Rose, a lavender latte, and a goddamn Apple Cardamon Rum latte!

Perhaps I will mix my own someday... I already mix my own chai =) Assam, fennel, cardamom, cinnamon, and sugar finished with milk.

It's such a lovely art form. Flavors, you know?

  1. You know Japan has a pretty intense tea ceremony. If you are interested.
    Personally, I have never been one for tea.
    I tend to get it too hot, too cold, too bitter, too sweet.
    My palate was just never right for tea.
    Though I must say the Soothsayer may make a convert out of me!

    1. Still trying to figure out if we can buy Soothsayer in bulk. I'm thinking that we could start mixing our own teas too >.> Sounds like a lot of fun =D
