When I visited the Tea Market, I really wanted to try a Rooibos tea. One of the options is a Chocolate Mint Rooibos which boasts “a blend of age-defying Rooibos, vanilla, chocolate, mint and apples.” It was also so pretty! When I first opened the package I smelled the sweet smell of chocolate and mint,… Continue reading Drink Me: Tea Market, Chocolate Mint Rooibos
I love ceramic mugs. So much that I use them for even more than sipping tea. I was reminded of that as I cleaned out my craft room on this snowy Sunday. I can’t give you details because this was a gift, but I’m betting it was purchased from a potter somewhere in Colorado: Rather… Continue reading Ceramic Mugs
I really love nothing better than a well executed pun. These mugs from Lenny Mud tickle my funny bone, and I’m sure I’d get a chuckle every time I sipped from them. These appear to be sold out, but I still dig ’em.
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

I don’t generally drink my tea in ceramic pots, but there are many people who do. As I said in my post about mug cozies, one of the ways to keep your tea warm longer is to add some extra insulation with wool! There are tons of tea cozy patterns out there for those of… Continue reading Teacessories: Tea Cozies
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.
