Tea


Tana Gandhi


Caffeine is a definite must for me in the mornings. It's mostly chai but sometimes I opt for tea and sometimes coffee-it's just fun to change it up. Yesterday, I chose green tea as an excuse to use this heart shaped tea infuser gifted by a friend. Isn't it adorable? So, how do you have your caffeine? Are you more of a tea drinker, coffee person, or neither?

I'm looking forward to staying in this weekend and catching up on a lot of projects--but mostly blogging and photos. What about you? Any awesome plans for the weekend? Hope you have a lovely one!

    What a lovely and romantic photo! I'm definitely more of a tea drinker :) I love black tea the most. Sounds like a nice, relaxing weekend--E and I are driving back down to Tampa this weekend, so ours will be a bit busier, but I'm excited to get home :) Happy Friday!

    Yes! A chai latte, for me, is the best way to start a day. Sometimes if I'm feeling up for something lighter, I'll opt for earl grey or honey camomile tea. I could never be one to appreciate coffee, but who knows what'll happen when I'm an adult!
    Excited to see what else you have in store. My weekend consists of the about the same routine, coupled by a trip to the beach. :)

      Thanks, Rachel! I really enjoy chamomile tea at night too! Mostly because I usually can't have caffeine past 5pm or else I'll be up all night. Hmmm I actually didn't start drinking coffee until I started working so no rush, coffee will find you in due time ;)! Hope you had a wonderful trip to the beach and happy new year! <3

    Goodness, this photo is absolutely gorgeous, Tana. I'm definitely more of a tea drinker and chai tea is also my favorite - the smell is just divine. I'm definitely planning on some blog projects this weekend also - can't believe it's the new year already! Have a wonderful weekend, love! <3

      Thanks, Victoria! Yesss chai tea lattes smell and taste divine! I personally wouldn't mind it without sugar even! Hope you got some awesome blog projects done this weekend. Mine turned out to be almost the opposite-- I did manage on having a few brainstorming sessions done though. :)

    I never thought I'd be a coffee fiend, but now I'm that person who goes nuts for a good latte. BUT I've had a few caffeine deprivation headaches and it freaks me out that my body can have that kind of withdrawal! Now I'm trying to do coffee half the week and tea the rest of the week. I just need a good masala chai recipe!

      You know what, I never thought I'd fall in love with coffee either! All throughout college I mainly had tea but once I started working, oh man it was so hard to resist. Caffeine deprivation freaks me out too!! I kinda need it every morning and afternoon now. My mom has a delicious recipe for masala tea--Maybe I'll write a post with it soon?

      Jasmine pearl green tea is one of my all time favorites too!! I mean, who wouldn't want to smell jasmines while drinking them, right?

      I like your approach to caffeine! I think I should stick to chai in the morning and a milder tea in the afternoon. Excellent idea! Thank you, Stacy! Happy new year! xx

      Thanks, Divya! I kind of wish I wasn't used to drinking so much caffeine but now that I know what it's like, I don't mind it so much. :)

    As always, a beautiful photo! Chai is my favorite tea to date. I drink it at least 4 out of the 7 mornings each week.

    I usually drink a cup of coffee in the morning before work. I'll go through phases with tea, but I usually stick with black tea with a dash of sugar. It's perfect on chilly afternoons!

      Hey Jenny! My mom found this at a garage sale but a quick search on etsy for "Milk glass hand" got me these results: https://www.etsy.com/search?q=milk%20glass%20hand&ship_to=US
