I talk about tea often enough to make it obvious I love it. One of my favorite tea concoctions is the London Fog. I learned about it when I worked at Starbucks. If you’ve never heard of it before, you’re probably blinking at your screen, maybe even reaching for google. Never fear; a London Fog …
As our financial status and physical location have grown more stable, my husband and I have noticed we spend a little more money on things we used to consider pointless indulgences. Mostly drinks. Which has led to a lot of lattes, a love of cider (which could be a whole other blog post) and a …
Did you know Adagio Teas allows you to make your own fandom-based blends and share them with other tea lovers? When I first found out about their site, they actually pitched it to me this way; you can make teas based on your books and characters and your fans can purchase them. Isn’t that cool? …
The David’s Tea Summer Collection I received for my birthday last year had a bonus attached to it; a coupon for 25% off tea purchases until the end of July. I’m always on the lookout for new teas and this seemed the perfect opportunity to find my next staple. Especially since I had just started …
I love supporting small businesses. They put so much love and passion into their products, I generally find them worth any extra expense. Unfortunately, living in Canada makes this difficult. Small businesses often have trouble negotiating international shipping rates. When you add the exchange rate on top of that, delivering to Canada can more than …
This comes a bit late, I know. But what better time of year to recall your favorite summer ice teas than the dark depths of mid-winter? Maybe we can use them to summon back the sun. I received DavidsTea’s 2016 Summer Collection for my birthday (in June). The theme was sorbet-inspired teas. The box came …
I’ve spent a lot of time talking about the delicious Adiago blends (orchard herbals, green rooibos and teas of Japan) that my mother-in-law sent me for my birthday. This really opened the door to loose leaf tea for me and I’ve quickly become a fanatic. While visiting a DavidsTea at our local mall, one of …
Tea. I keep coming back to it. The last time we visited our local mall, I became a Frequent Steeper at David’s Tea. I just know I’m going to get along with this new arrangement. But today’s post is about the last of my Adagio sampler sets, stealth-purchased by my mother-in-law for my birthday. I …
I’ve mentioned a few times that I’ve started drinking loose leaf tea. It’s been a couple months and I can say with certainty it was a good choice. My tea supplies last longer and there are more options available to me. I’m starting to get the knack of how long each type of tea needs …
It’s been a rough week (the week I’m writing this rather than the week you’re reading it). My computer died a week ago, the day before my in-laws arrived for a week long visit. If I was going to be without a computer for a week, I guess that was the week for it to …
