Drink Me: David’s Tea, Licorice Twist
The third tea I picked up this spring from David’s Tea was Licorice Twist. I know people have mixed feelings about anything that tastes like black licorice, but I was intrigued by the ingredient list. From the website, Licorice Twist contains licorice root, nana mint, fennel seeds, anise seeds, cocoa, candied pineapple, ginger, peppermint, nettle… Continue reading Drink Me: David’s Tea, Licorice Twist
Teaccessories: Knitting Mugs
How cute are these knitting mugs from the Debbie Bliss Stitches Collection? I would love a whole set! There are also tea towels and knitting totes available!
Drink Me: David’s Tea, Cool Cucumber
Another of the spring flavors I picked up in my last order from David’s Tea was the Cool Cucumber. Again it appears I’m too late to post, because now it’s only available in the Spring Sampler as one of five teas for $27.50. From the packaging Cool Cucumber is a black tea with honeydew melon,… Continue reading Drink Me: David’s Tea, Cool Cucumber

I feel like I haven’t given spring its due this season, so today I picked out a variety of spring tea accessories to share: A Dragonfly Tea Twig by Stash Tea: Modern Botanical… Continue reading Teaccessories: Springtime
Drink Me: David’s Tea, Blue Lagoon
This spring David’s Tea sent out an email with some new limited time spring flavors. Now if you know me, the key to getting me to buy things is to make it a limited edition. Some of the blends sounded so good I couldn’t resist, even though my tea room overfloweth. One of the ones… Continue reading Drink Me: David’s Tea, Blue Lagoon

While we have some cupboard space I can devote to them, I’d rather be able to see my favorite mugs each and every day. Our counter space is a little limited, so I may store some of my… Continue reading Teacessories: Mug Trees
Drink Me: Teavana, Rooibos Tropica
A few months ago, one of the members of my Wednesday night knit group brought me a sample of some Teavana Rooibos Tropica tea that she had bought her son for Christmas. I’m happy to say that even though I’ve decided I’m not a rooibos enthusiast, this blend was really tasty! From the website, Rooibos… Continue reading Drink Me: Teavana, Rooibos Tropica
See me Knit.
Last week at my weekly knitting night we started discussing Ysolda Teague’s video of designer Stephen West knitting and her challenge for others to take videos of themselves knitting and post them. Ana graciously shot a video for me and I posted it to Instagram. Before I knew it, I had quite a few comments.… Continue reading See me Knit.
Drink Me: Adagio Teas, Tardis Blend
A second tea that my friend Ana gave me to sample was the Tardis Blend from Adagio Teas. From the website, the tea is a blend of Earl grey and blackberry with vanilla (also included are orange peels and blue cornflowers.) I love the tiny Tardis blue flowers: Ana’s favorite part about the Tardis blend… Continue reading Drink Me: Adagio Teas, Tardis Blend
