Drink Me: Teavana, Strawberry Grapefruit Xue Long
It’s funny because I don’t really like fresh grapefruit or grapefruit juice, but I loved the tang of Adagio’s Grapefruit Oolong, so when I placed my order from Teavana I decided to try the Strawberry Grapefruit Xue Long. From the package it contains: pink grapefruit, hibiscus, apple pieces, lemongrass, orange peel, Xue Long green tea,… Continue reading Drink Me: Teavana, Strawberry Grapefruit Xue Long
Craf-tea: Dyeing yarn with tea.
A few months ago I stumbled on some beautiful photos of a shawl that someone had knit and overdyed with tea. I immediately began thinking I could easily try my hand at dyeing some yarn with tea right in my own kitchen. For those who haven’t dyed before, all you need to dye a protein… Continue reading Craf-tea: Dyeing yarn with tea.

However, I had enjoyed the samples I have tried and I was super curious about… Continue reading Drink Me: Teavana, Marshmallow Macaroon

I grew up in a neighborhood with lots of peacocks and I just love this teapot and teacup/saucer from the Edie Rose by Rachel Bilson Peacock Collection.
ICED: Guava Green
A few weeks ago, I shared that I had bought the Double Infusion Iced Tea Pitcher from The Republic of Tea. I’m happy to report that I have made a few batches of iced tea and enjoyed using the pitcher. Some of my combinations haven’t been all that I wanted them to be, which is… Continue reading ICED: Guava Green
Totes
Every knitter needs a bag to tote his or her projects around in. This one from KNerdShop made me giggle: Or there’s this cute bag from Society6:
Drink Me: Smoke Camp Crafts, Appalachian Mint
The second tea I picked up on our road trip was Appalachian Mint, again from Smoke Camp Crafts. Per the packaging, this tea contains mint, persimmon, strawberry, sassafras leaves and sumac berries. I purchased 3/4 oz for $3.50. On first sniff, all I really got was sweet mint, which was fine by me. The tea… Continue reading Drink Me: Smoke Camp Crafts, Appalachian Mint
