Tyrrell Tea by Tea...Indeed

 Hello, September!

 

 

 

Last month, my friend visited Drumheller, Alberta and brought me back Tea...Indeed's "Tyrrell Tea", a black tea blend inspired by the Royal Tyrrell Museum which features one of the world's largest collections of dinosaurs. 

 

It's a tasty Earl Grey blend with hibiscus flowers. Of course, I had to drink it in my handmade "Tea-Rex" mug!

 

I visited the Royal Tyrrell Museum in 2014.
 

 

"Black Beauty" was one of the best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex skulls every found.

Come Shop with Me at HomeSense: Summer Edition

I spotted some fun tea-themed items at HomeSense (aka HomeGoods) recently.

These elegant white with gold trim dishes would be perfect for a shabby chic tearoom.

 

 

 

This artwork would also be perfect for a tearoom.

  

 

 

This mini Blooming Tea Garden is too cute!

Thai-Inspired Brunch in Toronto

Last week, I met up with up a friend for brunch at Le Lert, a Thai restaurant in Toronto.

 

 

The decor at Le Lert was beautiful. I especially loved this mosaic wall...

 

 

...which featured teapots, teacups, and saucers!

  

 

What a wonderful way to repurpose teawares!

 

 

I had this delicious Holy Basil-Grilled Pork Benedict.

 

 

Before heading home, we picked up some yummy Isabella's mochi donuts. I had the Matcha Brownie (right), while my friend had the Lemon Earl Grey (left).

Strawberry Teacups and Teas

 It's strawberry season!

 

I thrifted these charming Cath Kidston strawberry teacups and saucer a few years ago.
