1st Annual Milton Tea Fest

At the beginning of the month, I attended the 1st Annual Tea Fest held in Milton.

 

 

There were over 30 vendors offering tea samples and other goodies.

 

 

Top: Chai Affair

Bottom: Amani Tea

 

 

Tea Samples (left to right): white tea, rooibos, chai, Korean tea

 

 

 

I also enjoyed sampling Momo Tea's different flavoured sencha green teas (left to right): sakura, ringo (apple), melon, and badu (grape).

 

 

 

More tea samples: turmeric chai and Tao Tea Leaf's ready to drink iced teas/lattes.

 

 

 

I had a nice chat with Andrea from Tea & Toasts...

 

 

 

...and Katie from Monarch Tea Co.

  

 

 

My haul from the Tea Fest

3 Momo Teas (the apple, melon, and grape blends). 

Taniya Gupta's book of poetry and the Monarch Tea Co. custom blend, "She Believed In Herself", that was inspired by the author!

Tea time with Jane Austen

Last fall, I found these adorable bone china teacups with Jane Austen quotes from HomeSense (aka HomeGoods) for only $7.99 CAD each.

 

 

The Emma teacup

 

Emma is my favourite Jane Austen novel. I love the 1996 film adaptation with Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collete, and Ewan McGregor.

 

 

"I always deserve the best treatment, because I never put up with any other."

 

 

The Mansfield Park teacup

 

 

"A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of."

 

I would love to add the other teacups to my collection:
Northanger Abbey
Persuasion
Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility
