Tea-themed journals

 This week, I'm sharing my tea-themed journals by Molly Hatch.


I've always been a fan of blue and white transferwares so this hardcover journal was right up my alley!
 

I couldn't resist this paperback journal either!


I love the message of this adorable pocket journal:
Tea Revives You
 
Do you keep journals?

Green teawares for St. Patrick's Day

I was one of the lucky customers who got a free bag of tea for Tea with Tracie's birthday promo last month.

I selected the Irish Cream black tea because I'm a fan of creamy teas and this blend is perfect for St. Patrick's Day. I enjoyed it in a Jadeite mug that used to belong to my maternal grandmother. Next time I'll try it with milk for an extra creamy treat!

 

I stalked this beautiful mint green teapot (2 cups) on Chapters Indigo's web store for months. When it finally went on sale last fall, it became mine with a few mouse clicks! 

The teapot's shape and vintage look reminded me of the Sadler cube teapots.

 

The teapot matches the teacup and teabag holder that I bought from Dessert by Deb.

 

 

My tea cart all decked out in Irish green.

 What are you doing for St. Patrick's Day?

Tea Haul: Teamancy

 Happy International Women's Day!


Teamancy (pronounced "Tea-ah-mancy" is a woman-owned tea business from Cape Breton Nova Scotia. I was intrigued by their unique blends and recently ordered a few of their honeybush teas (L-R): Cranberry Head Crumble, Problem Free Philosotea, Key Lime Chamomile.


I also couldn't resist Teamncy's reinventions of my favourite fruits (L-R): Nana's Bananas black tea, Spicy Mango green tea.


I love receiving free tea samples in my order!

 

I actually tried these sample blends last month when I sent myself a Teamancy Valentine!

The "Love Potions" were delicious so I'm happy to have more for my teacup!

Teas and chocolates

Hello, March!

 

February tea empties

Oldest: Dessert by Deb's Chocolate, Berries and Cream black tea (June 2019)

Newest: Teamancy's Love Potions (February 2021)


Last month, I ordered this charming Alice in Wonderland mug rug from the Quilting Princess.


The large mug rug has enough room for a mug and a treat!


At last week's office Zoom tea, we did tea and chocolate pairings. My yummy pairings were:

1) DavidsTea's Japanese Sencha green tea with Lindor Milk and White Chocolate Truffle

2) Taylors of Harrogate Earl Grey black tea with Lindor Extra Dark Chocolate Truffle

My co-workers also enjoyed Lindor truffles, as well as Cadbury, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Ferrerro Rocher with their teas (chai, orange pekoe, genmaicha, cinnamon herbal tea).
