On the Topic of Gourmet Coffee

October 27th, 2009 by keen bean

While I do continuous research on both coffee and tea, I must admit to being partial to the topic of gourmet coffee. So, to balance things out, I am going to concentrate more on the beauty and benefits of the beloved world of tea. To begin with I am going to treat myself and a couple of close friends to a good old traditional high tea service. That is certain to get me back to being properly focused.

As a little girl, I absolutely adored going to high tea. For years, the majority of my Christmas gifts involved tea sets and tea parties. There were playfully painted tea pots, and others of exquisite detail. Then there were the different cups and saucers to match, or if feeling a tad bohemian mix and match them. So, I am definitely looking forward to being reunited with that feeling of elegance, and pampering, that always rushes back to me when indulging in high tea.
