April Tea Haul: DavidsTea

 It's been over 4 months since my last DavidsTea purchase.

 

I caved and finally checked out my online cart when I saw this gorgeous purple mug. The butterflies change colour when you fill the mug with hot water (see photo below).

 

 

I took advantage of the Friends and Families sale (20% off regular-priced loose leaf tea) to try some new teas form the spring collection: Jelly Donut rooibos, Bahama Blue fruit infusion, and Horchata Chai mate.


I also purchased the Cherry Blossom matcha and used my rewards to get the pricey Matcha Matsu for free.

 

 
The Jelly Donut Rooibos was a delicious blend with strong strawberry notes. I enjoyed it both as a hot tea and iced latte!  Jelly Donut is now sold out online, so I'm happy that I got the chance to try it out!



 
 
The Horchata Chai mate was a lovely spiced tea. It would also make a great iced or cold-brewed latte.



I think that the Cherry Blossom matcha is one of my favourite DavidsTea matchas. I enjoyed it as a hot latte in this beautiful teacup that Lyn from Australia sent me in a teacup swap years ago.

 

 
I'm grateful to see the cherry blossoms in bloom this year!

Teacup shoes

Last month, a work friend sent me a screenshot of teacup shoes (not my size) being sold in a local Facebook Buy and Sell group. I had to have the shoes and found an online Canadian retailer that was selling the shoes in my size AND they were 50% off!

 

I was nervous about ordering shoes online, but they fit me perfectly and were so comfy.

The shoe brand, Alegria, creates fun and comfortable footwear for nurses and other shift workers who are on their feet all day/night! I have a sedentary job, but my feet needs orthotic-friendly shoes.

 

The teacups are so pretty! The shoes would go well with pants, skirts, or dresses. Looking forward to wearing them this spring!
