My first Dessert by Deb haul of the year

Last month, I ordered a few new Dessert by Deb teas, as well as restocked on some faves.

I love the colourful square tins!

Bonus goodies included in my order.

Dessert by Deb's newsletter has amazing promos for subscribers.

Deb also surprised me with this adorable Valentine gift!

I love the fun socks and super cute mug!

I've already enjoyed the new delicious tea blends that were introduced this year.

I'm not a big fan of floral teas, but Deb has converted me with her Lady Lavender collection:

I've been having fun using my Breville Milk Cafe to make tea lattes and tea-infused hot chocolate.

 

 

Coconut Matcha Latte 

 

London Fog Latte

The black tea was grounded into a fine powder so it dissolved directly into the hot water.

I couldn't resist buying this adorable sweater from Ricki's.

The website description said it was a "coffee" sweater, but it's obviously a teacup, right????

A Platinum Jubilee Tea Time

Yesterday, I honoured Queen Elizabeth's 70th anniversary with a special tea time.

I enjoyed a cup of Earl Grey black tea in my Buckingham Platinum teacup by Noritake.

The British classic Earl Grey is reportedly one of the Queen's favourite teas. Taylors of Harrogate has earned a Royal Warrant "as an official supplier to the Prince of Wales."

Last year, my aunt gave me this Diamond Jubilee demitasse that commemorated the Queen's 60th anniversary.

Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning British monarch.

January tea hauls and sipdowns

BREAKING NEWS: I broke my tea-buying ban after 62 days.

DavidsTea's free shipping promo finally got me! 

I exercised GREAT restraint and only ordered 2 of their new teas: Nepal White (I used my free reward) and Monkey Business (a banana black tea).

I'm always on the lookout for pear teas, so I couldn't resist getting Monarch Tea Co.'s Perfect Pear black blend.

I also received a few classic teas for my birthday.
