{Let’s have a tea party.}

March 8, 2011 · 32 Comments
Filed Under: favorites

I’ve been drinking a lot more tea lately — chamomile, lemon zinger, peach — and it’s soooo tasy! I’m normally a coffee drinker {with a heavy splash of cream, please}, but since caffeine doesn’t affect me, I’m steering more towards tea for the flavor and lightness of the liquid. Some times coffee seems so… heavy. Which makes me a little sad, since I love it and all. But tea is a lovely alternative. I searched Etsy and found a handful of tea-themed pretties.

Let’s have a tea party? You’re all invited :]

    My fav tea is just plain black or herbal peppermint! But my favorite to photograph or watch is the blooming teas! I’ve got a strawberry that’s so delish!

    My favorite is English Breakfast Tea! To me…it is just right!
    I also enjoy Green Tea, Mint Tea when my throat is irritated, Sleepytime Vanilla Tea and Chai Tea!
    This post is making me want to really host a tea party…wonder if my friends would be up for it!? ;)

    I am a faithful green tea drinker. I have at least 2 cups a day no matter what the weather outside is. I swear this is why I have not gotten the icky bug going around my office. {knocking on wood}

    I love celestial seasonings tea – the spice ones more than fruit ones. But I especially love teas full of spices & cinnamon that taste a bit spicy!

    Thanks for sharing those mug cozies! I’m not necessarily crafty, but I can crochet like nobody’s business! Now I have a great handmade gift idea. :)

    My favorite tea is probably Bengal Spice Chai. My ultimate cup of tea would be 1 Bengal spice bag + 1 India Spice bag + milk + honey. I also love peach rooibos. :)

    This post is right up my alley. :) I love myself a good cuppa black tea.

    Although, my signature cuppa is Starbucks Tazo Orange Blossom with a pump of Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup.

    dee-lish.

    LOVING those knit cozies with the “teabag” hanging over!

    Thanks for inviting me to the tea party! I love fresh mint tea (just boil fresh mint leaves) and add a bit of sugar if you like! Simple, all natural and delish.

    Cute post! I love tea – peppermint after dark, {the republic of tea} ginger peach in the daytime. Yum! Leila’s birthday party this year was an Alice in Wonderland tea party with her and her friends, mismatched china and all. It was really cute – I blogged about it a month back or so. xo!

    This is a topic near and dear to my heart. I’m an Assam-tea-junkie. My husband just brought a new brand home from a work trip, and the tea bags are too big for a single mug. So we’ve been sharing a pot each morning. It’s so fun to use our special tea pot (our only tea pot) on ordinary days. I’ve already confirmed with him that he’ll be making a pot for breakfast tomorrow. :-)

    Tea is so yummy….and you’re right….a nice alternative every now and then to “heavy” coffee!
    I absolutely love the knit “cozy” thing for the travel coffee mug! I wish I was that good at knitting! ;)

    I’m a southern girl…. native Texan. I have never lived anywhere else so mine is, not surprisingly, iced sweet tea. :) Mmmm. The only time I opt for hot tea is when I’m sick and then nothing can beat a good cup of hot tea with lemon and honey.

    I used to be a huge coffee person, but have switched to tea. I just feel healthier. I love constant comment. It reminds me of home.

    I like Earth Mama Angel Baby Organic Monthly Comfort Tea. I had a cup right after both births and I drink it every month a few cups a day for a few days. It’s really yummy to me. I don’t know if it does any good, but I sure do like it.
