Recently, while enjoying an ice tea at the T2 cafe near uni I was thinking about the relationships between artists and their tea. Many people often enjoy a cup of tea in the morning to wake up, help them go to sleep, etc. But, many 'creative' people often also enjoy a tea while they are painting, drawing, sculpting,whatever they specialise in. This type of tea is often of the herbal sort, such us mint, green and camomile. I know that I, personally, enjoy drinking a herbal tea when I am doing anything creative at all.
The atmosphere of this specific T2 cafe was also something that it is very easy to fall in love with. If you should get out your sketch book, your senses are often immersed in their surroundings with many flavours, different personalities, making it all the easier to immerse ones-self in the world of art. The openness of the T2 customers and staff easily make one feel that they need to sit back, enjoy their tea and just stay a little longer.
