Miniature Brass Arabic Tea Set


I picked up this sweet little miniature tea set for a few dollars and I think it is so sweet!

I've no idea what all the pieces are.  I am thinking the small piece with the lid that has holes maybe for incense. 


This piece has a lid but no holes....  maybe for nuts or sugar?


Then there is this really tall piece, I have no idea what it is for either.  While looking on line it appears it could be an oil lamp or hold rose water....neither seems likely, but who knows.  It is an interesting piece.


 

But the Dallah teapot and cup is fun.  And I like it has a tray with it.  After having gone to an Arabic restaurant and was served tea in a Dallah, I find them super fun and interesting.  I especially enjoy the uniqueness of the beak spout.  


It then sits on this brass tray.


I love little tea sets that are brass or silver....they are not easily broken either, lol.

3RD Cup of Tea Earl Grey with lavender syrup


I did a Wednesday Wandering to Mansfield the other day to visit a friend.  We met at the Blueberry Patch for lunch and then I went exploring for tea.


My first stop was 3rd Cup.  I tried to stop at Twisted Fig, but learned that they sell their tea at different shops, but do not have a brick and mortar place to try their teas.

So, I headed downtown to try 3rd Cup.  I loved the downtown buildings and look.  I can tell they are doing a lot of work to revitalize it.  The back of the building were I parked and also entered, reminded me of something I would find in the south.  Very cool brick buildings with the balconies and awnings.

    101 North Main ST, Mansfield, OH, United States, Ohio, (419) 709-8525


This is the back entrance.


There is a nice amount of seating here.  


I thought this area in the front was really a cute place to meet and drink tea.  Even bring a laptop and work. Or gather with friends.


They also had some items for sale.  They sell Storehouse Tea from Cleveland....I love them.  They have great tea!!


3rd Cup has a nice selection of tea's to select from.



I was able to watch them make my tea.

  



I ordered the Earl Grey Lavender.  They were out of it, but made Earl Grey with lavender syrup.  It was a little sweet but the flavors were fantastic!!  The lavender syrup was excellent!

I am giving four teacups because I thought it was a little pricey for a tea that was not really a specialty tea and it was really sweet.  ($6.75 for an iced tea is too much in my eyes).  But, the ladies were friendly.  The cafe was clean and I enjoyed the trip there.


This is the front of the shop.  There is construction, so parking is limited...at least July 2025.

Mayflower Teahouse, Canton Ohio

Today I discovered Mayflower Tearoom in Canton Ohio. 



                                

You know in the movie, Notting Hill, they talk about the house with the "Blue Door", well, this is the tea shop with the green door.  And that is what I thought if the minute I saw the shop.  The fun, bright green door. 


What a great discovery- this place has not even open for a year yet.  I hope it takes off and thrives!!


When I pulled up I wasn't sure I was at the right place.  There was no one around and it seemed deserted.  Then I noticed the sign that said they were open.


Every table has Lego flowers on them, it is really fun!


I love the purity of their tea. They have no sugar, no syrups- just pure tea! (They do have honey though)
There are not a lot of tea options but the teas I tried were really good and the prices are fantastic!  





I ordered Caravan Russian tea for $4.00.  I thought I would get a cup, but they gave me an entire pot of tea for $4.00.  I thought it was really good.  It had the smokey flavor I associate with Caravan tea.

Caravan tea is smokey (the added Lapsang Tea) to replicate the smokiness of when the camel caravans would bring tea from China to Russia in the 16 and 1700's.  The tea in the wooden crates were exposed the the smoke from the evening campfires, so when the tea arrived in Russia it had a smoky taste to it.


I sat at the little Japanese seating area. It was really fun.


I enjoyed sitting and working on my England trip itinerary.

 I also ordered a matcha and took it to go. The matcha was really good too.  They know how to make tea here!


You can play chess.  This is chess board is on the wall and you can make a move and then wait for the another random person to make a move.




The outside may not look like a lot yet- but there is a great patio in the back and the interior is cute.  And since I have been there they have gotten a sign for the exterior of the building, which will help people find it as well.

Check this place out. I think you can bring food in too- but check.  Grab some friends and try some great tea.
