Five in February

 We made it to the end of February!

 

1. I completed two fun tea-themed puzzles.

 

2. I've been enjoying lattes in this charming "These are a few of my favourite things" mug!

 

 

3. February tea times 

Cookies and Teamancy's Cookie butter herbal tea for a virtual tea time.

Monarch Tea Co.'s Double Cream Earl Grey (left) and Twinings' French Vanilla Chai (right) for a snow day.

4. My first tea haul of 2023: 

I'm on "low-buy" year for tea. But I couldn't resist Daniel's Chai Bar's flash sale and stocked up on some of my favourite teas: Rated R (my favourite raspberry tea) back tea; Love Note black tea; and Wow oolong.

5. February tea empties

What I may repurchase in the future:
1. Adagio's Sweet Nothings white tea
2. Adagio's Ripe for Romance black tea
3. DavidsTea's Christmas Morning black tea

Romantic teas for heart month

This hopeless romantic has been enjoying some lovey-dovey teas this month!

A thoughtful friend sent me samples of Adagio's Love Petals which I drank during Valentine week.

I'm smitten with Hugs and Kisses' light caramel and vanilla flavour.

I'm enamoured with Ripe for Romance's delicious raspberry and chocolate black tea blend.

My favourite Adagio: I'm besotted with Sweet Nothings' white tea blend of peach, apricot, and lavender. I sipped this heavenly tea while I listened to Taylor Swift's song, Sweet Nothing.

I adore Monarch Tea Co.'s Love You Tea, a sensational strawberry black tea.

I'm under the spell of Geek+Tea's As You Wish black tea. 

 

It's inconceivable to celebrate Valentine's Day without this fantastic blend  of cacao, roses, and cardamom. So I purchased 500g (!) of my all-time favourite Valentine tea before Geek+Tea closed their tea business.

Do you have any teas that you enjoy in February?

 

Valentine Teagrams and Teawares

At the beginning of the month, I sent out some handmade Valentine teagrams.

I created the teagrams using pretty photos from old Tea Time calendars.

 

 

My pink corners: A mix of contemporary and vintage teacups and teapots. 

 

All you need is love...and tea!

 Happy Valentine's Week!

 

Belated birthday gifts

This week, I'm sharing some belated birthday gifts that I received recently.

It's been a loooong time since I've drank the DavidsTea fan favourites like Forever Nuts, so it will be fun to try them again and see if my tastes have changed.

Some fun tea-themed puzzles. 

The cat in the wooden puzzle reminded me of Garfield. I love the retro design of the purple "Tea Party" 350-piece puzzle.

 

You can never have enough tea-inspired hand soap!

 

 

A crafty work friend surprised me with this gorgeous tea-themed quilt that she made herself!

This is the teacup side of the quilt (folded in half).

Can you spot the Alice in Wonderland squares?

 

 

The fabulous quilt also matches this mug rug that I ordered back in December!
