My Little Tea Station

My tea station

There's nothing like coming home or waking up in the morning and making yourself a good cup of tea. After watching juicystar07's coffee and tea bar video I decided, OMGGGG I have to do this!!!!!! As I don't drink coffee I just decided to keep it strictly tea :) 

My favourite cup

So first things first obviously you need to heat your water. I just have a very small 1L Sunbeam kettle, perfect for just one or two people and it doesn't take up too much space.

Next, I have my favourite little cup, it has all these beautiful blue fairy wrens and I especially like it because the porcelain is quite thin and fine unlike most mugs.












What's a cup and water without tea? These are a few of my favourites at the moment :)

T2 Sencha Vanilla

This is T2's Sencha vanilla. It is a loose leaf green tea with a hint of vanilla flavour. 
It suggests that you use one teaspoon to 250ml of water and let it infuse for 1-3 minutes and it is perfect by itself. It also says to serve it hot although I think it is also amazing cold. It's a perfect summer tea.

Ingredients: Green tea and vanilla flavour.

Planet Organic Female Balance

This is Planet Organic Female Balance tea. It is a herbal tea in tea bags. The strongest flavour in this tea is probably the lemongrass although the flavour is very hard to describe.
I find this little baby is perfect for when you wake up in the morning, I find that it gives me more energy which is essential as I often feel tired for hours after I wake up. It claims to provide nutrifying qualities and natural clarity through the synergy of a carefully balanced blend of pure certified organic herbs.
It suggests to place 1 tea bag in a cup and allow to infuse for 4-5 minutes. I also like to add organic honey to compliment the flavours. Serve hot.
I also store them in the little cupcake jar.

Ingredients: Licorice root, Sage leaf, Nettle leaf, Chamomile flowers and Lemongrass.

Aurora Peppermint Tea

Aurora Peppermint tea is exactly what it is, peppermint tea. The teabags are adorably, individually wrapped and overall the packaging is just so pretty and I just had to have it on display. 
It is a freshening tea that is supposed to aid digestion. I personally love to have a cup before bed as it seems to calm me down and leaves me with a minty fresh feeling, still not to sure about the digestion bit.
It suggests to use 1 teabag with 200 mls of water and to infuse it for 5-6 minutes which I think is perfect. Don't be fooled though as the tea is very very dark and the first time I used it I didn't leave the teabag in long enough as I thought I had over-infused it.

Ingredients: Peppermint





Personally, I don't add milk or sugar to my teas usually, as I think it ruins the taste and it is also better for you by itself. 
So go on!  Make yourself a delicious cup of tea!!!!!

Update

Phoebe has been very lazy with her blogging lately, so please excuse!!!!

If you don't know me in real life then you may not know that i have recently moved into a new little apartment. All I can say is, IT IS AMAZINGGGGGG. I can now have things how I want them and I have a lot more freedom. With that, comes responsibility but I feel as though I'm doing just fine.

First things first, PETS. Where would my life be without a pet. There is not one time in my entire life that I can recall, that I have never NOT had a pet, so when I moved out I felt a little lonely especially as I couldn't take Knox(my little kitty). So I thought I should get a pet and all that came to mind and all I thought was suitable for the apartment was a fighting fish.
Without further ado, meet Tyrion!

Tyrion, named after my favourite GOT character, is an elephant fin fighting fish and he's just the cutest little fish you've ever seen and very smart, he even eats his food out of my fingers. What a daredevil!

Another thing about the apartment is that it doesn't have it's own balcony(or yard) and it sucks because at my old house I did lots of gardening so I thought how am I going to fill that pleasure in my life? The answer was terrariums. I am addicted to these gorgeous baby sized gardens. Here's a photo of the first one I've made.

Other than my little moving adventures I also graduated from high school, which is CRAZYYYY!!!! I honestly feel as though I've been going to school ever since I can remember and now it's all over! INSANE. Now the burden of the HSC awaits, I cannot wait until it's just all over and I can just work and travel. NO STRESS!

It's time to do some cleaning so I guess I shall talk to you all later.
