Another tea that I just couldn’t resist trying from David’s Teas was the Creme Brulee. From the website it includes organic green and red rooibos tea as well as safflowers, marigold and caramel flavoring. Creme Brulee is available in a few different sizes: 50g for $7.75, 100g + free tin for $15.50, 250g + free… Continue reading Drink Me: David’s Tea, Creme Brulee Rooibos
When I started my tea journey, I mostly planned to buy loose leaf teas to taste and test. I still do have some favorite tea that I purchase in bags from the grocery store, or other stores and before I started learning more about tea I didn’t know what the difference was. So now I’ll… Continue reading Universi-tea: Loose Leaf v. Tea Bags
The final tea I purchase from Tea Market was a Pu-Erh. Some readers have asked about my favorite unflavored teas, so I decided to pick a simple Pu-Erh for review. Per the Tea Market, the tea is “aged with special health properties and early flavor. Chinese Penicillin.” It is available for $4.35 per ounce, and… Continue reading Drink Me: Tea Market Pu-Erh
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 don’t remember who first told me about David’s Tea but I was excited to place and order with them. It wasn’t until after I had already ordered that I realized that they were located in Canada and it would take a little extra time to receive my box. Even so I was pleasantly surprised… Continue reading Teashop: David’s Tea

All you need is an infuser and those can be obtained at a variety of price points. The easiest, cheapest alternative is to purchase a tea ball. You can… Continue reading Teacessories: Infusers
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
