A tea in honour of Queen Elizabeth II

Yesterday, I had a special tea time in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

 

The Queen had tea every day.

 

Sipping the Queen's favourite tea, Earl Grey, in my Elizabethan teacup.

 

The purple crown and union jack sugar cookies were from a local bakery.

Random Tea-Related Purchases

 I've been trying SO hard not to buy any new teas...

 

...but I just couldn't resist this New English Teas Earl Grey (80 teabags for $9.99 CAD).

Yes, I bought it for the beautiful lavender tea tin! I found the Earl Grey tin at HomeSense. Costco (US and Canada stores) also sold the English Breakfast Tea (240 teabags): Alice in Wonderland, Beatrix Potter, Pink Victorian, Turquoise Victorian.

 

Dollar Tree Find #1: Tea time and cake for the fairy garden or tiered tray.

 

Dollar Tree Find #2: Velvet teacup art that you colour in yourself

 

Dollarama Find: Freeman's Deep Cleansing Soap-Infused Sponge (Green Tea) for $2. 

The ingredients didn't include camellia sinensis though, so maybe the green tea is the soap scent?
