Three 6 Tea

I've been following Three 6 Tea, a Winnipeg-based tea company, for months. I took advantage of a recent sale to finally try out their teas!

 

 

Tea #1: Peach Apricot honeybush was a lovely fruity blend.

 

 

Tea #2: Lavender Vanilla matcha (hot) was creamy with a light note of lavender.

 

 

Tea #3: Bananaberry matcha milkshake is a delicious blend of banana and strawberry.

 

 

Tea #4: Strawberry Spritzer (cold brewed) was a refreshing fruit infusion!

 

 

Tea #5: Juicy Watermelon is perfect for summer sipping!

 

All the teas were delicious as cold brewed teas! I'll definitely be stocking up on the Lavender Vanilla and Bananaberry matchas!

Church Garage Sale Haul #1: Paragon teawares

I went to the first church garage sale last month and found some beautiful Paragon pieces.

 

  

I don't usually purchase sugar and cream, but I couldn't leave this pretty Iris open sugar bowl and creamer behind!

 

 

 

I also couldn't resist these orphan white and gold teacups. I didn't noticed that they were different designs until I got home.

 

 

 

I adore the heart-shaped design of this teacup.

When I got home I noticed that this teacup had a crack. So I'll have to find another use for it...

 

 

I originally thought it was $3 for each piece. But they were actually asking for $3 for each set and accepted my offer of $5 for BOTH sets!

I've been saving this Buckingham Palace Strawberry and Vanilla Cake afternoon tea for my birthday! A work friend was in London, UK last summer and she said that the tea made her think of me. So she brought it back for me! It was one of the best strawberry teas that I've ever had!

 

 

Teas that I received for my birthday: Tealish herbal teas and some intriguing Adagio Valentine-themed teas.

 

 

I'm excited to try these sugars infused with vanilla, rose, and lavender!

 

 

 How cute are these Winnie-the-Pooh teacup sets?

 

I used a gift card to purchase this reusable bag at Home Sense (aka HomeGoods). The teacup and laptop made me think of my tea blog!

I also used the gift card for this fun and cute Rae Dunn "Happy Birthday" mug!

The friend who gave me the gift card almost bought this mug! But she thought I already had enough mugs and that cupcake wasn't purple...So it was hilarious that I went out and bought the same mug!

I'm blessed to have family and friends who know me so well!

Liquid Therapy

The cold bug got me last week so I've been drinking copious amounts of herbal teas.

Lemon ginger herbal tea with honey

Apple Cinnamon

Caramel Apple

Both the apple teas contain chamomile which is supposed to help a cold, right???

What teas do you drink when you're feeling under the weather?

I'm joining the following parties this week:

Tuesday Cuppa Tea

Tea in the Garden

Apples to Apples

The impending arrival of fall means it's time to start sipping some apple teas!

Celestial Seasonings' Caramel Apple Dream herbal teabags consist of: cinnamon, hibiscus, natural flavours (caramel, apple), orange peel, chamomile, roasted chicory, ginger and sea salt.

The tea lived up to its "Caramel Apple" name and tasted sweet and fruity!

Tealish's Apple Cinnamon herbal tea contains real apple pieces, as well as chamomile and cinnamon.

This apple cinnamon blend had a delicious scent and a pleasant fruity taste with a touch of spiciness!

What are your favourite apple teas?
