Hot Tea Spots
The wind whipped the rain against the windows. I sat at the dining table watching the storm, my hands wrapped around a stoneware mug of steaming tea. The baby slept peacefully in her bassinet.

We all have an image of the ideal “tea scene.” Some feel the picture is incomplete without a cheery fire on the hearth, others have to include a favorite book and a cat. No matter how you choose to drink it, a good cup of tea warms the heart and soothes the soul. And whether you like your tea loose or in bags, hot or iced, black or green, I can find the best tea sites on the web for you.
