I want one of these! Or would it be a pair of these? LMAO!
My mother was born and raised in Ireland. She had tea every afternoon and it was always Red Rose. Tea was also her medical remedy for anything that ailed you. Headache... tea with aspirin dissolved in it. Skinned your knee... tea with milk and lots of sugar. A bad cough... tea with honey. Sore throat... tea with Irish whiskey. When she passed my sister got her Red Rose figurine collection.My mother got me started on Red Rose tea! When she passed into the clearing I inherited her collection of figurines. I keep them in a special box and display a different few ever so often. They make me happy and remind me of what a lovely woman she was.
skimom2Loose green tea is my favorite. Love Tetley's Irish Breakfast tea, and I have a friend in Perth who's sent me Australian Breakfast tea on occasion--it's lovely! I'm trying to think of the brand of Irish tea a friend in Dublin sends me... red box is all I can remember (I put the tea in a tight container and tossed the box a while ago). It's nice, too.
I used to collect those figurines as a kid. Do they still do that?The only tea I drink...
And you get a figurine in every box. I have quite the collection.
yupI used to collect those figurines as a kid. Do they still do that?
I'd love a cup, Mrs Doyle. Dougall doesn't care for one. Not Earl Grey, I want Irish breakfast tea.A few years back, when I was advised to give up coffee, I discovered the wonderful world of tea. Pearled, leaved, herbal, spiced, bagged or loose, I love tea. Hot or iced, creamed or black, sweetened usually, but any way it's served I love tea.
Of course I never did give up coffee, but there you go.
What is your favorite tea?
