Working from home has its benefits but at times I find it difficult to switch off my mind from the office-saga even when I have logged off from my laptop.And today was one such day, when after non-stop back to back virtual meetings, I was still thinking about meetings and project deadlines. I really needed some quite evening time today without thinking about office. So pampered myself with a cup of chamomile cranberry green tea with an ocean-scented candle and some flowers. This made my evening and definitely helped me to change gears mentally from my busy office-mode!
Have you been in similar situation when you have physically logged off from the computer but have been mentally still online?
How do you shift gears between office and home when you are working from home?
Feel free to share your experience, this might help some of us in similar situations!

Love can be very simple....may be as simple as making two cups of tea and then fighting over it if your beloved steeped the tea a bit more and then contemplating if it is too strong for an afternoon tea!

Today's valentine special was Rosted Darjeeling second flush paired with Brittania Little Hearts

Not a tea post today!
Praying for strength, hope, and peace to India as millions back home are fighting the battle against the second wave of COVID-19.
It is heart-wrenching to loose close ones or just seeing their suffering while not being able to do anything from a distance.
A waiver on COVID-vaccine patent or distributing excess vaccines from US to the developing countries will help to acquire herd community globally in the longer term. India exported 40% of its COVID vaccines to other countries....I hope global community now supports India with vaccines, O2 and other medical supplies as India fights back COVID19.
Stay safe and pray for India.

When office work keeps you busy and away from IG for a while, then I needed a special day to restart and reconnect back to this Tea-passion of mine. And what can me more special than my only sweet little daughter's Birthday 😍. Yes, today is her 4th birthday and she loves her pretend afternoon Tea-Party with us, while her mom-dad gets to relish the real Darjeeling Tea ☺️. I will post her pretend party's post later, but for today here is a glimse of my yesterday's late afternoon 1st flush black tea from Darjeeli g in my backyard. This has a floral honey taste with a slight malty flavor. And I paired the tea with roasted and salted moong dal/beans. If you havenot tries roasted moong yet...give it a try, you can get it from your local Indian grocerry store.

Some prefer public affection while some just like it to be private.....some prefer to celebrate it on a particular day and for some, every day is a celebration in itself...whichever group you are in...if you know someone- be it your friend, family or better half, who cares about you when you are not reachable by phone (network issue, phone broken etc. whatever reason can be), you can be assured that you are 'LOVED'.
And I can say, I am really lucky and thankful for having such LOVEly family and friends in my life, since as my phone was out of service for last 10days, I was touched by so many friends who tried to reach me and insisted to buy a new phone as my old one was functioning erratically.
And finally my dearest hubby gifted me my new phone...quite a surprise from him in this Valentine's season😍 ☺️!
Apart from the new phone, the warmth of my Valentine and a cup of 1st Flush Black Tea from Darjeeling, today is just another Sunday for us but with record freezing tempereture here at Houston.
Happy Valentine's day my TEA-hearts♥️! Stay loved and warmed up ♥️

Last couple of days has been a little messy and busy with work. But, after several cups of strong tea, lots of discussion with colleagues and some head scratching moments...I can say I have learnt a few lessons on how to deal with 'uncertainty' patiently and still keep my 'calm'.

And finally today, while I was enjoying my third steep of Frosted Oolong from Darjeeling with my friend..I found this beautiful bud-leaf in my cup...and I couldn't resist but take its photo. And an instant realization that inspite of all the work-pressure and daily grinding, these small little joys like sharing a cup of tea with your friend is what makes life so beautiful. It was such an epiphany moment for me today.

Did you have such a small epiphany moment today when you realized that indeed "Life is Beautiful!" ♥️

P.S. This frosted winter oolong tea from Darjeeling has a fresh aroma with fruity flavours of green apple, olive, pear and vanilla. I will say every steep was dominated by the flavour of one fruit over the other.

And the after effect of this oolong tea is my insta-post after a hiatus of almost three weeks. 😊

After taking a couple of days break I am renergised to take on the year 2021.

And today while I was sipping my afternoon cup of frosted oolong autumn flush (of course from Darjeeling 😍), the first package of my tea supply for this year arrived from India...thanks to my Dad!

And here I am all set to have a wonderful Tea-year with my family and friends.

AlI I could wish for is....

Sunny, cloudy or dark....
Howsoever the year 2021 may unfold...
Hope we all get the strength, compassion and optimism...
To count our blessings and deal with the challenges.
Wish you all a peaceful and prosperous year ahead!

Today, while having my afternoon tea---Assam black tea paired with roasted Peanuts)--- I started watching the recent Amazon Prime movie "Radioactivity" based on Madame Curie's life.
And boy...I finished watching the movie at one go....I am so mersmerized and motivated at the same time by the life of Madame Curie.
I mean almost a century back,a women scientist discovered Radioactivity and finally got awarded two Nobel Prizes even after dealing with a lot of crticism for being a female scientist in a male-dominated scienctific community, had a double-career with Perrie Currie and also managed a family with two kids.
This is simply amazing! .
Have you watched "Radioactivity"? .
I have my views about the issues which a women scientist gets to deal with today, more so being actively associated in the scientific community as a researcher.
What do you think about how life of women in science is different today?
How about having a virtual cup of tea with me while discussing about it?

Monday blues are for real even on a bright December Monday morning in the holiday season. What helps me to kick aside these blues is a yummy breakfast...a cup of autumn flush Darjeeling black tea, home-baked chocolate-dry fruit cake and an apple.
How do you guys tackle your Monday blues?

My husband was never a tea-person but it's only after we started seeing each other, he fell in love with both tea and me 😍😅!
I was his tea-influencer, the culprit who introduced him to tea.
Now after all these years even with all the busy schedules, we still make sure to have our evening/late afternoon teatime together everyday.
And today it was definitely special as we celebrated his birthday.
We had 1st flush Darjeeling Black Tea in its purest form. The aroma was lovely and it tasted smooth with some fruity notes and very little astrigency.
Who have you influenced and introduced to the world of tea?
