Bata Des & Tea: A Love Affair Brewed Daily
Every day starts with a comforting embrace that sets the tone for all that follows. It’s a ritual so beloved, it feels like a warm hug for my soul. It all begins with tea — my daily delight and unshakable companion.
Tea is more than just a beverage for me; it’s a daily companion, a moment of calm, a spark of energy. I can’t imagine a day without it. On average, I drink four (4) cups of tea a day, each one carefully blended with hot water and infused with intention. I’ve perfected the art of making tea, whether I’m at home, at work, or anywhere in between.
My secret weapons? Two trusty thermos-like mugs: one I bought from Brian Bell recently and another from New Delhi. One of these little gems goes everywhere with me. They’re perfect for brewing my favorite blend — a delightful mix of tea, honey, and lemon. On weekdays, it sits beside me at my desk, a quiet reminder to pause and enjoy a moment of tranquility amidst the hustle. On weekends or Sundays away from home, it becomes my portable oasis, offering warmth and comfort wherever I am.
My passion extends beyond the daily ritual. I love to taste a wide variety of teas and scout every store for new and exciting blends. Each new tea discovery adds a layer of joy to my routine, making every cup a new adventure.
There’s something magical about tea. It rejuvenates me, keeps me hydrated, and fuels my energy to tackle the tasks ahead. Each cup is a reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor the small moments that make life special.
Tea has a way of making even the most mundane moments feel significant. It’s not just about the drink itself; it’s about the experience. The way the steam curls from the cup, the warmth that spreads through your hands, the delicate balance of flavours that dance on your tongue — every cup of tea is a tiny celebration.
For me, tea is more than a habit; it’s a ritual that brings joy and balance to my day. Whether it’s the first sip in the morning or the last soothing cup before bed, tea is my favorite companion, my daily dose of peace and pleasure.
The bond between a person and their tea can be described as an intimate and comforting relationship, one that weaves itself into the fabric of daily life. Tea becomes more than just a beverage; it transforms into a steadfast companion that provides solace in quiet moments, energizes when fatigue creeps in, and adds a sense of warmth to even the coldest days.
Every cup is like a small ritual — a pause to breathe, reflect, and reconnect. The flavours, the aromas, the warmth of the mug in hand — they all contribute to a sensory experience that feels almost like a conversation. It is a bond built over time, with each sip reaffirming a sense of familiarity and comfort, a subtle reminder that in this small act, we are never truly alone.
So, here’s to tea — the start of something wonderful every single day!
