The name for this blog was birthed because whenever I read I either have a cup of tea or coffee beside me that I slowly sip and savour while I read (I’m also a huge tea collector). I’m also going to use the cups of tea as a way to measure how good a book is. Similar to on Goodreads where you can rate a book out of 5 stars, I’m going to rate the books out of cups of tea, and what type of tea I think would go with the book.

Books have always been a part of my life as far back as I can remember. My mom would encourage me to read at a young age, and my dad would read to my sister and I before bed each night. Now that I’m older, I take more time and consideration about what books I read. I can easily get lost in any bookstore perusing the shelves for the books that I want to read, or finding books that jump out at me from the shelves.

This blog was formed from my love of all things books and reading, and of course tea. There is nothing that says a perfect day then overcast skies, a good book and tea.
