For years here in Australia, tea has been the most popular beverage and it is the one thing that we look forward to when we wake up first thing in the morning. There is nothing quite like a morning routine that involves boiling the kettle and either making your tea in the cup itself or a teapot. Many different kinds of teas are available to us from all over the world and it means that we have a wide variety to choose from first thing in the morning and maybe later in the afternoon with some biscuits.
