London Fog Ice Cream

As we move into summer weather, I keep an eye out for tea-inspired ice cream.

 

I love the creamy London Fog ice cream by President's Choice, a Canadian brand sold at Loblaws grocery stores. It tasted just like a creamy Earl Grey!

Tea-themed garden decor

A few weeks ago, a friend gifted me a metal garden sign from Dollarama.

 

 
 
A charming cat sitting in a teacup!
 

  

At a thrift store recently, I spotted these whimsical garden decor which repurposed old teacups and dishes.

 Do you have any tea-related garden decor?

Dessert by Deb's Oh Canada Sweets Collection

This month, I've been enjoying some new teas from Dessert by Deb's Oh Canada Sweets Collection.

 

 
Tea #1: Prairie Vanilla Custard Flapper Pie black tea
 
I've never actually had prairie vanilla custard flapper pie, but I enjoyed this tasty blend's creamy flavour.
  
 
Tea #2: Nanaimo Bar Cheesecake black tea
 
Another delicious creamy tea with chocolate and coconut notes.
 
 

 Tea #3: Maple Dipped Donuts & Coffee black tea
 
I'm not usually a fan of coffee-flavoured teas, but this was a lovely tea with a balance of maple and mocha notes.
 
 

Tea #4: Wild Strawberries & Northern Lights green tea
 
This fruity green tea would make a refreshing iced tea!
 
 
Tea #5: Sakura Watermelon in High Park oolong tea
 
I've never met a watermelon tea that I didn't like, so this floral watermelon blend was right up my alley!

2nd Annual Milton Tea Fest

 A few weeks ago, I attended the 2nd Annual Milton Tea Fest.

 


 
I admired the lovely tea-themed artwork.
 
 
It was quite busy, so I only took pictures of some of the vendors.
 
 
My modest tea haul!

My first handmade matcha bowl

A few weeks ago, I purchased my first handmade matcha bowl!

 

 
This matcha bowl was crafted out of granite stoneware clay by Little Ginkgo Crafts.
 
 
I adore the beautiful purple jade glaze!
 
 
 I look forward to making matcha in my gorgeous new bowl!
