It you love to sip a cup of espresso like me, you probably liked the stylish portable espresso makers I posted before. I recently saw this one at a coffee shop and had to take a picture of it. What a cheerful addition to cheer up your kitchen and share a cup of coffee with someone you love!

Tea and Poetry to Calm Your Soul

Excerpt from the book "Poetry to Calm Your Soul" by Mimi Khalvati.

Tea Mind
by Chase Twichell

Even as a child I could
induce it at will.
I’d go to where the big rocks

stayed cold in the woods all summer,
and tea mind would come to me

like water over stones, pool to pool,
and in that way I taught myself to think.
Green teas are my favorites, especially

the basket-fired Japanese ones
that smell of baled hay.

Thank you, makers of this tea.
Because of you my mind is still tonight,
transparent, a leaf in air.

Now it rides a subtle current.
Now it can finally disappear.

Drinking tea and reading some poetry is an amazing way to rejuvenate yourself. You'll be amazed how much energy you have at the end of the day after spending half an hour by yourself in a quite environment, sipping a cup of tea and reading. Try it today!

Give the Gift of Espresso

If you know me, you would know my obsession about thin tea and coffee mugs. I love the New Wave Cafe collection... the spoons are the best!

They would make great wedding and housewarming gifts. I saw them at Macy's. They feel nice in person as well.
