This Tea Rituals Around the World slideshow at Condé Nast Traveler (condenasttraveler) is a tea-lover’s delight! Never before have I seen tea time look so sumptuous. Click through to learn about the tea traditions behind these beautiful and mouthwatering arrangements. Just looking at them has inspired me to make a cuppa!

Time to chill on the front step in the nice weather until the tea’s gone.

there is no such thing as TOO MUCH tea
Apart from when your body starts to rebel against the sheer amount of caffeine you’ve been ingesting 🙁 I had to limit myself to 2 cups a day while I was at university and now I’m studying again (but with a bit more money than before) I’m on the decaf after my morning cuppa.

This is actually my life.
No joke. When I get out I’ll be an expert on everything from Xiao’s Blend to English Breakfast to Earl Grey to Lungching Dragonwell to Jasmine Downey Pearls to Assam Golden Tip.
I would love to do this. My favourite tea at the moment is Russian Caravan tea and in general, I like my tea to be strong enough to stand a teaspoon in. None of that weak southern so-called tea for me.
Sometimes I wish I liked coffee because then I wouldn’t be stuck with always ordering hot chocolate at cafés because the tea will inevitably disappoint. And I’d also have something other than hot water to drink at work, where the tea is sub-par only because the teabags are always stale.
Yeah, I’m picky – but I got hit with tea-elitism genes from both sides.
And I maintain, that you MUST have tea with breakfast – whether it’s dim sum, nasi lemak or a full english. It’s the only way to survive the grease.
Bread & butter pudding + tea = teatime of the gods
