One of my favorite things about starting this blog is how many friends (and strangers!) have come out of the woodwork to tell me all about their favorite teas. One of my good knitting friends, upon hearing I was starting a tea blog, immediately brought me what she and her husband refer to as “crack… Continue reading Drink Me: Lana’s Snowflake Tea
There is nothing that I’m more of a sucker for than limited time offers. Tell me that a yarn is a limited dye run, or a tea is seasonal and I want it. So when I got the new spring tea blends email from Tea Market, I knew I was a goner. We went over… Continue reading Drink Me: Tea Market, April in Paris
I only recently learned that as part of 2013’s Black Friday celebrations World Market had a whole Downton Abbey themed tea party event. I can’t believe I missed it! Perhaps my favorite part were the beautiful mugs they gave away as part of the Black Friday promotions. They don’t have any more, so you’ll have… Continue reading A very Downton Tea Party

When I ordered from David’s Teas mid-February, one of the teas that they were promoting was Love Tea #7. It sounded delicious so I added it to my cart. From the website, it includes Chinese black tea, dark chocolate (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin and vanilla), freeze-dried strawberry, and red rose petals. Love… Continue reading Drink Me: David’s Teas, Love Tea #7
I know I posted about visiting the Tea Market, but I’m also still working through my box of samples from Adagio. Another of the teas I received in my initial order was Ginger Peach which is available in a sample size for $2, 3 oz for $6 and 6 oz for $19. From the website,… Continue reading Drink Me: Adagio, Ginger Peach
Almost all of the shopping I do these days, tea and yarn included, is primarily online. However, you just can’t beat going to a local tea (or yarn) store to get to view, smell, or touch the goods in person. I was excited to learn that there is a little tea shop in Brookside, a… Continue reading Drink Me: Tea Market, Birthday Tea
If you’re like me, the first tea website you started browsing had all these different varieties of tea and you were quickly overwhelmed for choice. I thought I’d take a moment to share a bit of knowledge about tea. What the heck is tea anyway? I started my education with a popular Kindle download called… Continue reading Universi-tea: The basics of tea.
The Mug: Jennie the Potter, Maryland Sheep & Wool, 2013 (I didn’t go but a very dear friend bought me one because Pirate Crabs and YARN!)

About a year ago, I participated in a swap with someone in the United Kingdom and she sent me some tea from the The Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co. She actually sent me two flavors, but for today I’ll only discuss one, the Blood Orange Black Tea. From the package, this blend contains… Continue reading Drink Me: Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co., Blood Orange
