2023 52 Card Project: Week 46: Tea

[pegkerr]

I adore coffee and have some every day. But with my sleep problems, I limit myself to only one or two cups, and I never drink it after noon. After noon, I switch to tea.



I am indebted to elisem for introducing me to Bingley's Teas. The lovely little shop that used to be on 26th Street has now permanently closed, to my great grief (another victim of the pandemic). The online ordering has been suspended, too, although I have hopes that it may resume once the owner has had the chance to regroup a little. But I laid in a huge stock of their teas, each named after one of Jane Austen's characters. I am particularly fond of the variety named "Mr. Darcy's Pride."

I have been enjoying many lovely cups as the weather has cooled.

Edited to add: After posting this, I realized that I had posted another card earlier this year, week 19, with the same name. I am cheating and retroactively naming that earlier one Teashop.

I think next year, I will relax my rule about one-word titles.

Image description: A large porcelain teapot with painted scenes on it sits on a tea shop counter. In front of it are two packages of tea labeled "Mr. Darcy's Pride" and "Elizabeth Bennet's Wit." To the right a book entitled "Tea with Jane Austen" lays on the counter with a small glass teapot filled with loose leaf tea and water sitting atop of it. Just behind the glass teapot sits a business card holder, holding cards that read "Bingley's Teas."

You might consider quitting coffee, or at least cutting back; I’ve read that if you drink a cup at 8:00 AM, some of the caffeine will still be in your system fourteen or sixteen hours later. On the other hand, you might suffer caffeine withdrawal headaches during the day, and still have insomnia at night.
