I thought I would join in with Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 once again. I have just copied and pasted the questions as before. I'm not sure who is running it so copy from Pam at Closed Doors, Open Windows. Feel free to redirect me.
Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
We ask 4 questions each week to get you blogging, thinking, discussing and visiting with other bloggers.
The commercial song said "the best part of waking up is Folger's in your cup".
1. What is in your cup in the morning?
Oh, definitely tea. No milk, no sugar. Just plain black and not too strong but I do like to taste it :) My little mother liked hers weak, we used to laugh and say she just waved a tea bag in the general direction of her cup. And no, I don't leave the tea bag in, I took this pic while I was making a drink to have while I wrote and it was still brewing.
The top half of this picture is what I can see when relaxing in my easy chair. Not very exciting, it is looking south though, which is where our bad weather comes from, so we can see the rain or wind in the trees as it heads towards us.
2. What brand of coffee or tea is the best in your opinion and why do you think so?
Call me a Philistine if you like but I had to look up Folger's. I am no longer a coffee drinker although my hubby is. For some reason about two years ago coffee started to trigger migraines so I stopped drinking it. That was hard for a start but I'm used to it now and it doesn't bother me. So what brand of tea? Dilmah. English Breakfast or Extra Strong. I prefer the English breakfast though. It's a little dearer than some of the other brands but I don't mind.
3. Where do you drink your cuppa in the morning? Do you have a nice view.
We always used to sit at the kitchen table for breakfast and our early cuppa but since hubby retired we sit in our easy chairs in the lounge, he likes to catch up on the news on tv and so I catch up with any messages I might have on my phone. And at times we even talk to each other :)

4.Besides the morning, do you take little tea or coffee breaks during the day? If you are out and about where is your favorite place to get some tea or coffee?
I like a drink about mid morning and mid to late afternoon. Always one with lunch and if my sisters are here one after tea as well. Tea in that case being our evening meal followed by a cup of tea. When we're out and about in our little town we like to visit Aurora, it has the old fashioned sort of food we prefer and when in the city we go to a little out of the way mall off the main street and visit a little cafe there. It's always busy so not a secret, just out of the way :)
I'll finish there,
have a good week.
Until next time,
Diana
PS. The Rooibos tea in my picture is my go to for my evening drink as its decaf.
Some very good questions.
ReplyDeleteI drink coffee
I have a pod machine and I make lattes at home.
I like my coffee milky and no sugar
I sit quietly on the couch and drink my coffee while playing a few games on my iPad
I usually only have one or two coffees a day
One in the morning. And one about mid afternoon
Tea for me as well. I like a cup of green tea first thing in the morning g whilst looking out at my small garden. Other times of the day it would be decaf breakfast tea. Twinings would be my favourite make.
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee and tea. Annie runs Tuesday 4 and the link to Tuesday 4 is https://tuesdaysplace.blogspot.com/. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that 😀
DeleteThe routine, the tea and coffee, and the view seem oh so familiar. It's what I used to do in the mornings when in NZ with my folks. Except it was a newspaper and crossword, not the phoned
ReplyDeleteI'm not a coffee or tea drinker. I drink mostly water. Hubby does like his coffee in the morning though.
ReplyDeleteI like your view!
I thoroughly enjoy my cups of tea...and English Breakfast is my most favorite, as long as it is decaffeinated. I have trouble finding the decaf at times. And I'm like you; I don't leave my tea bag in the cup either. My favorite brand that we can get here is Twinings.
ReplyDeleteI am the person who runs Tuesday 4. https://tuesdaysplace.blogspot.com// is where you will find the questions each week! I am so glad you've joined in.
ReplyDeleteI love tea in the evening and late afternoon and have had that habit sonce I was a little girl and had tea after school with my Nan.
Thankyou Annie. I plan on joining again, it's a fun thing to do 😀
DeleteI've heard of Folgers but I don't think we can get it here, might be an American thing. I use those sugar free sachets from Avalanche or Nescafe in the mornings and during the day I have a cup of tea but I like it strong.
ReplyDeleteYour tea is the tea I drink at night though mine is packaged by Tetley's tea. I love Rooibus. Enjoy your evening.
ReplyDeleteI'm a tea drinker and I always welcome my first waking up cup of the day :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice view.
All the best Jan
I drink milk in the morning. Don't drink coffee at all but do drink tea once in a while in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the Tuesday 4! I loved hearing about your tea drinks, etc. Rooibus tea is good. My cousin brought me a bag of loose Rooibus tea from New Orleans, LA, when she visited there and then visited us. It is good. You are like my hubby and I. We have our tea /coffee (his) in front of our computers...he has a laptop so sits in his recliner, and I have a desktop and so sit in my little 'room with a view' and catch up on blogs/etc. while sipping my morning tea, then I join him in my recliner and after we do our morning Bible reading/devotions together we have breakfast and watch the news on TV. It's a nice way to start the day. Thank you for joining in today! Bye for now.
