A Wintry Tea Date
I was so lucky this month to be taken out by my beaux for a day downtown in London! We bundled up real cozy for the day but it was still a blast in the -15 degree weather.
We brunched at Billies, a deli and breakfast nook hidden down west Dundas Street, and then ventured out for the rest of the afternoon to explore. The public library was first on the trip, where we played chess and checkers. Sadly I lost harshly both chess games but then won both checkers games, ha!
Bo was determined to show me the Wisdom Teashop at 610 Dundas where we learnt about matcha tea, sipped drinks and took pics together! I had no idea that one cup of matcha tea is approximately the equivalent of drinking 8 to 10 cups of regular green tea; it really gave Bo a punch of caffeine. Wisdom has such a lovely display and selection of teas from all over Canada as well as teapots and mugs that make fabulous gifts and collection items. We were in awe at the classical art mugs that are also used for in-store drinks. Next time I’m determined to try their Japanese crepes...
I hope everyone is staying warm in this wintry weather this month! Don’t forget to drink some tea to cozy up.
