"You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me." CS Lewis

Hello beautiful people!

The weather's been dreary today, it's rained, it's snowed, and it's rained-snowed.  Incidentally I had the chance to have lunch and tea with some friends for lunch today and it was marvelous!  The place is called, cuppa: a tea café, and it's slogan is tea for everyone and it was splendid.  Two of my good friends, Erica and Alex, work for the school paper, The Rambler, Erica is the editor and Alex writes a food column and his column this week is all about Cuppa.  It's a couple of blocks from Transy at Jefferson and Short and I had never heard of it, but it's time the world knows all about this wonderful downtown find.

This was my lunch, an egg salad sandwich and a small pot of Mandarin Silk tea. 

As soon as we stumbled out of the wet wintery-mix that had been coming down all morning and into cuppa we were instantly transported to a tranquil, trendy oasis filled by the smell of steeping tea and we were surrounded by the natural light from all the windows which somehow transformed the blizzard outside into a real life snow globe.  Yeah, it was that awesome.  They have a larger tea collection than I could ever imagine and lunch was delicious too.

This is where we sat, very cool and cozy. 

The awesome thing about Lexington is that even as a senior I'm finding new things all the time because the city is growing and as it grows it's attracting all sorts of new businesses, restaurants, and the like.  I know I've talked about how much I love Lexington for its perfect size and accessibility, it never ceases to provide something new for me to get excited about.
