Wanted Madly: Tea Cup Haiku

I have a small living space. Limited space is a tea lovers anathema. So many cute things to buy. Tea pots, Tea cups, Tea-inspired goods....not to mention Teas (of course) tea tins, tea art, tea spoons, tea cookies...

To say that I must be selective is an understatement.

But this is a Must Have for theMadam....

meet Alexis of 'Teaspoons and Petals"

This creative writer and tea enthusiast has blended her passions -- and in so doing has created a unique tea Cup with haiku set...which the Madam simply MUST HAVE!

it reads...
find the perfect blend be patient
and watch it bloom
love is just like tea

Tea Pages: write your page....

Tea has a way of bringing people together or offering moments of solitude, of taking care of you when your sick and teaching you about other cultures. I have met so many people simply over the love of tea that I could write a book!

Well, here's your chance to share your story with the world.

The author of the the Tea Pages blog is putting out a call for your stories and essays having to do with tea. The deadline is June 30th, so be sure to submit yours soon!

New Blend: Morning Dawn

One of the great things about being a custom tea blender is, that if your friends happen to like tea (albeit most of my friends didn't realize how much they liked tea until they met me....), that I can always whip up the perfect gift.

Well...we hope for perfection...actually blending for friends & family always carries with it a subtle layer of pressure...but really, what blend that I send out doesn't make me tingle with nervous excitement, hoping that the blend does in fact match the sipper.

But I digress.....

Such was my opportunity to blend a friend a tea for her birthday. No doubt that I will be blending her more for all she has done for the Mad Mad Tea Party and beyond....

Morning Dawn is a bright and fruit-forward tea. A good morning starter with a touch of sweetness. A very unassuming tea, not overly bold, but full of flavor -- strangely reflective of the bright, happy aura that is the goodness and sweetness of my friend Dawn.

(Happy Birthday!)
