Lovejoy's Tea Room

This tea has been very pleasant to have in my work cupboard. It has been a sunny cuppa on the days when I could use some cheer.
Its one I would not mind picking up someday in the future, but there is no urgency for it.
Sipdown!

I’ve had two cups of this today, which hit the spot.
Tea can help one get through a very long day!

Its one of those hurry up and wait days. Where everything happens all at once, then grinds to a shocking halt, only to pick up again the moment you have readjusted to a slower pace.
Bleh. Tea!
I am digging citrus blends in this heat. It somehow feels more seasonally appropriate, and so I sip with pleasure. Fortunatly my office is air conditioned enough to have a nice cup of tea without suffering. (It is often on too high, in fact, making a cup of tea a survival mechanism, but not today. Today my temperature is perfect indoors!)

I have no right to be as tired as I am today. I mean, really. I had a lovely nights worth of sleep, and the weather is mild, what am I so exhausted for?
Obviously the only solution is tea, and after a lovely cup of this I am feeling much more human and ready to face the day.
This is lovely on a warm day, the sparkle of citrus really made it pop. Also helpful when you are tired!

Its been a full speed ahead sort of day, complete with tricky people, long wait times, and last minute complications.
Whew.
I have snatched a moment to fortify against the rest of the day with this cup of tea, which is refreshing and brewed strong, today. May it serve me well for the coming hours.

Tea of the afternoon!
Once again I’m pleased to have this in the office. I can do a lot of work while sipping a cup of this, enjoying it, but not paying too much attention to it. That’s ideal in a work tea.

A moment to catch my breath, adjust my shoulders and drink a cup of tea.
I am apparently in a citrus mood today. Not a bad way to be. I pour the life-affirming brew down the ol gullet.
I need more tea filters for the office. Better stop at the store on my way home, or I shall be very unhappy come tomorrow.

And today its much, much cooler. It was even chilly this morning. Getting dressed these days is an exercise in layers.
Well, at least I have a nicely warming cup of tea.
I’m only just coming to Earl Greys. There was a long time when I didn’t care for them at all, but I’ve always liked a Lady Grey. I have no idea why, but her Ladyship has always agreed with me, even when his Lordship did not.

It is once again 100 degrees. In May. Oh the humanity.
It is also one of those days where I woke up and the day has not stopped since, flinging one thing after another at my cranium. Its been bonkers, and I, for one, will be happy to collapse at the end of the day.
And its only a Tuesday!
I did manage to hack my way far enough through my paperwork and clients to grab a cup of this, which was sweet and pleasant. It helps, having a cup of tea in hand.

Just the jolt of sunshine that the day required. From the first sip onward I felt much more cheerful.
Its amazing how a single cup of tea can make the afternoon feel positively do-able.

Reward for completing a long and important work call was a cup of this and a biscotti. Not to dunk into the tea, just to eat along side it. I only dunk biscotti into hot chocolate. Into tea seems inappropriate, somehow.
This is a really nice work tea for my afternoons. The grapefruit is very sunny, and it serves as a lovely pep when my spirits are about to flag, as the day has been long and isn’t it over yet?
Tea is always a good remedy for that feeling.

What is it with this week? Why is it so busy? Argh!
A bracing cup of caffeine is needed, so this is being called upon.
The grapefruit brings a pleasant sunniness to it, which is nice on a warm day like today.

Gosh its been a long Monday, and I am ready for a nap.
This tea will have to do, instead! Not quite as good as a nap, but not too shabby, either.

I love going to tea rooms. Mostly it is because I love tea, and have a passion for scones bordering on madness, but also because good tea rooms often have their own blends.
I went to Lovejoys with my sister late last year, and enjoyed it hugely. The atmosphere was fun, the scones delicious, and they had several house blends.
I picked this one up, which has the novelty of being a lady grey with grapefruit as the citrus, which I found very interesting!
Brewed up its a very light tea, which will be pleasant in the afternoons.
This has made the cut to be brought in as an office tea, where I think it will do very well.
