March Tea Haul: Dessert by Deb

I've been trying really hard to limit my tea purchases this year. But I can't help treating myself when Dessert by Deb releases new teas!

 

 
 
The teas that I purchased
 

  

Bonus goodies
 

  

Deb surprised me with a belated birthday gift: a set of 4 adorable tea mugs!

 

 
 
The Lavender Peach Ginger Scone black tea was a lovely peach ginger blend with a light lavender note.

 

 
The Berry Custard Meringue rooibos was a delicious fruity blend. I enjoyed it both hot (left) and cold brewed (right).
 

 
The Almond Orange Blossom Madeleine rooibos was also a refreshing orange blend that could be served hot (left) and cold (right).
 

 
The Peppermint Caramel Crunch Layer Cake black tea would make a lovely latte!


 
Tokyo Jasmine Fog black tea was a tasty blend of jasmine tea and creamy earl grey.

Teas to celebrate Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour's opening weekend

To celebrate the opening weekend of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour, I drank teas that reminded me of songs from her different eras!

 


 Self-Titled Debut - Our Song: Raspberry Rose by Clearview Tea Co.

Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses


Fearless (Taylor's Version) - The Best Day (TV): Pumpkin Chai by DavidsTea

I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch

 

 Speak Now - Speak Now: Mango Passionfruit Eclair by Dessert by Deb

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

 

 Red (Taylor's Version) - 22 (TV): Cereal Milk by Dessert by Deb

It feels like a perfect night
For breakfast at midnight

 

 1989 - Blank Space: Cherry Berry Punch by DavidsTea

 
 
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things

 

  Reputation - ...Ready For It? Tangerine Dream Honeybush by Monarch Tea Co.

In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
I know I'm gonna be with you

 

Lover - The Archer: Fireside S'Mores by Dessert by Deb

I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
The room is on fire, invisible smoke

 

 Folklore - The Last Great American Dynasty: Matcha Key Lime Pie by Dessert by Deb

 
 
And in a feud with her neighbor
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green 
 
 
Folklore - August: Salted Caramel Oolong by DavidsTea
 

Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more

 

 Evermore - Champagne Problems: Sleepy Lychee by DavidsTea

 Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
You're not sure which is worse

 

 Midnights - Lavender Haze: Lavender London Fog by Dessert by Deb

I just wanna stay
In that lavender haze 

 

 Midnights - Maroon: Pink Grapefruit Rosé by DavidsTea

How'd we end up on the floor anyway? You say
"Your roommate's cheap-*ss screw-top rosé, that's how"
 

Do you have a favourite Taylor Swift song?

A Shamrock Teacup

 After years of treasure hunting, I finally found an item on my wish list:


 A shamrock teacup!


 
The English bone china teacup was made by Queen Anne circa 1959+.



I was utterly charmed by the green shamrocks and yellow star-shaped flowers!
