A winter afternoon, a colorful, steaming cup, a hot drink, its perfume, a little sugar or half a teaspoon of honey, a few drops of lemon or a little milk, a saucer of crumbly biscuits, perhaps some different that smell of butter: happiness.

Tea time , previously considered a gentleman’s thing, has now become trendy even in Italy and the number of places where it is possible to take refuge in winter to drink tea, chocolates, infusions or herbal teas and spend an hour is growing more and more pleasant relaxing with friends and colleagues.

There is also an increasing number of business appointments in coffee shops at tea time rather than for the classic aperitif or brunch, in fact tea time can represent a perfect time to talk about business and projects in a more relaxed and relaxed atmosphere.

Tea is also good for health, there are various types: green, black, red, white, each of which boasts beneficial properties. Green tea, for example, is an excellent antioxidant, is good for the stomach and prevents tooth decay; the white one is rich in vitamins; the red one helps to decrease bad cholesterol and stimulates the metabolism.

Even biscuits , especially if prepared with quality ingredients, can help make us feel better, they are in fact among the foods of a good mood . Their scent, the sweet taste that contrasts with that of tea gives our mind and our palate a moment of joy and relaxation.
We can therefore say that the historical couple of tea and biscuits represents a unique combination, the first is good for the body, the second for the mood: a perfect combination to say the least!

Our lives are increasingly hectic and full of commitments, so much so that it is difficult to find a moment to be with ourselves or in peace with friends, boyfriends or colleagues. Allowing ourselves an hour of our day in front of a cup of tea and biscuits means loving yourself, giving yourself a little respite and well-being for the mind and body.
