3 Easy Steps for Brewing the Perfect Cup of Tea
The following steps for brewing the perfect herbal tea: fresh cold water to a boil, pour over the tea bag, then brew for 4 minutes.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the day’s slow moments.
My current life as a parent of a college-bound teen and energetic 9-year-old, as well as a full-time business owner, is so busy that it’s easy for me to get lost in it all. When I don’t stop once in a while, I miss opportunities to cherish those experiences that make life worth living.
So, one of the things that I’ve been doing the last few years is taking breaks to enjoy a cup of tea (or two).
Sipping on a cup of hot tea forces me to stop, think, and breathe. All of my senses are stimulated during these moments, which helps bring me back to center.
And my go-to tea brand right now? Twinings of London.

New Twinings Herbal Tea Flavors
I’m also excited to share the following new herbal tea blends from Twinings of London.
Lemon Delight
This tea is bright, sunny, and light.
Flavors include hibiscus, lemongrass, lemon peel, verbena, and natural lemon. I tend to enjoy Lemon Delight first thing in the morning!
Berry Fusion
Berry Fusion is naturally sweet with a beautiful combination of rosehips, hibiscus, orange and blackberry leaves, apple pieces, licorice root, and natural berry flavors.
When I’m craving something sweet, I turn to this herbal tea instead of dessert.
