This is loose-leaf China tea (I use a Wittard's mesh strainer) in a clear glass mug with no milk or sugar.

Every morning I have a mug of China tea in a clear glass mug. This glass jar is just the right size to hold a 125g sachet of Butterworth's Winter Tea. The jar is deep enough to hold the silver spoon I use to measure out enough for one mugful.
Our Daily Challenge group has chosen Bottles or Jars as the topic for today.
A spoonful of China tea is in the strainer ready for the boiling water. An electric kettle is an indispensable item of kitchen equipment.

I have a mug of China tea, without milk or sugar, with my breakfast.
My mother bought this spoon for us on 21 June 1972 in an antique shop in Lavenham Suffolk. They were visiting the town that day and my father sent us a postcard which I still have. The hallmark shows that it was made by Lister & Sons of Mosley Street Newcastle and assayed at Newcastle in 1849.
I do have recollections of Barrow's of Birmingham and their short-lived new store of the 1960s in the rebuilt Corporation Street and their loss, through closure, robbed Engalnd's 'second city' of a special place. The store originated in a tea and coffee warehouse opened in Bull Street by one John Cadbury - a family that went on to great things in the world of chocolate until, sadly, they too succumbed to takeover. It was his nephew, Richard Cadbury Barrow, who took on the shop and gave the grocery store its name.
By 1949 the store, that included grocery, provisions, bakery, fruit & vegetables, flowers, hardware, 'heavy hardware (such as AGA cookers), fancy goods, china, glass & gifts, books and the marvellous restuarant and tearooms amongst its services, celebrated their 125th anniversary with the production of this slender volume. Printed at the Curwen Press it marks a period when Barrow's took the quality of its graphic design and publciity seriously and Edward Bawden was commissioned to produce the covers of the booklet that show the evolution of the tea trade.
I have previously shown the front cover alone but this is the full front and back covers, along with the title page that is very 'Curwen'.
