After yesterday’s disturbing plunge into something that I know nothing – nor care two figs – about: the world of fashion – I’m back onto safer ground in the form of a cup of spicy tea. This time, it’s the wonderful Black Chai tea, with black tea, Roiboos, fragrant cinnamon and a bit of spicy ginger pick-me-up.

The words of wisdom from the back of the box come from the teachings of Ganesha:
“Wisdom and faith can remove all obstacles and bestow both worldly and spiritual success and happiness.”
Be wise, be happy … and try not to stumble over too many obstacles in your path this weekend!

I reckon it must be the rooibos that makes you wise. Because it comes from SA and we are all wise, right?

Indeed, isn’t SA the fount of all wisdom?

Oh yeah, and the cradle of human kind.
But you wouldn’t know it, listening to some of the politicians.

You really can’t go wrong with a cup of Rooibos. . .better to stay on safe ground. But now I’ll go back and see what I missed in your world of fashion!

I need to become more adventurous with tea, I do the four red fruits, earl grey, and apple and cinnamon…play it safe…but there are so many interesting sounding teas…anything you can recommend for someone ready to plunge a little deeper into the world of tea???
The photo is breathtaking…..have a great Sunday:-)

Tea makes me warm and smile.

Sharing a cup of tea, Ti Quan Yin for example as a way of apologizing for missing your birthday. In my case I do that on purpose, the missing that is, but there is no excuse for having missed reminding you to eat cake and smile a lot because it makes for better wrinkles later. Happy B-day Fi and many happy returns of the day!

Hubby loves rooibos tea and always buys a tonne when he’s in South Africa.
