Tea Time at the Cabin
My man is a righteous Brit. Every morning, while I struggle with my Espresso machine, he starts off with a proper English-style cup of tea. That means a strong black tea bag, held in hot water for 10 seconds or less, followed by a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and a dash of milk. (He’ll never understand why Americans leave the bag in the cup and let the taste go bitter… or why they offer him cream for his tea at restaurants.)
Another prerequisite of a good tea time is having the right cup. Forget the clunky thick-rimmed coffee mug… that simply will not do for tea-sipping. You need something thin, white, and made of china. Luckily, I found these porcelain monogrammed tea cups from Anthropologie for $6/each. And they passed the Brit-test. You can use them for coffee too (thank God) and it’s always easy to tell which cup is yours.

Thank you for the tip on these mugs, I wasn’t able to get our individual initials, but got our last name initial! So that’s cool too.
I’m always looking for a lovely tea mug, as it’s too difficult to use the nice bone china every day.
Can’t wait to receive my Anthropologie package!
Love your art studio too, so jealous!
