Kerrie's Cup of Tea

I love tea. I have created this page to discuss all things tea. Camellia Sinensis -Black, Oolong (Wulong), Green (Matcha, Sencha, Gun Powder, Genmaicha, Gyokuro), White, Yellow, Purple, Pu-erh, Chai, Blooming, and Kombucha. Also, Mate, Rooibos, Honeybush, Herbal, and Tisane Teas. Loose leaf/bagged/powered/instant. Iced/hot tea. Tea infusers/strainers, tea kettles, tea timers, tea pots/cups, steeping times, tea goodies, tea houses, and more! Do you share my passion of tea?

Pepper Mint Thai- Bubble Tea

Went to Pepper Mint Thai with my sister for my 43rd birthday.

I ordered the Thai Ice Tea Bubble Tea

The bubble tea was okay- I've had better. The food was amazing though!!!! I had the Basil Chicken, it was so wonderful!

I want to go back and eat here again!!!!

who am I

I have told you about Kerrie's Cup of Tea...but who is Kerrie?

*First and most importantly I am a child of God, that makes me a daughter of the Risen King. God is first and foremost in my life.

*Next I am a daughter, sister, and aunt. I have two amazing parents, two wonderful sisters, two great brother-in-laws, one terrific niece and three incredible nephews.

*I am a friend

*I've been a ESL teacher to some amazing students.

*I am a Sunday School Teacher to an INCREDIBLE group of Jr. and Sr. High students

*And to support myself and my cats, Orange Pekoe and Chai, I've worked for a local insurance company for over 20 years. My dream job is to own a tea shop and use it as a ministry. I recently started home tea parties- I bring the tea to you.

*I have recently lost 61 pounds. It's a constant battle, but one I will win.

*In my free time I drink tea, make jewelry, write (I have five published books on Amazon), knit, attend rodeos, do paint by numbers, play card/board games, watch NASCAR, cheer for the Buckeyes, Browns and Packers, watch HGTV, take photos, go on mission trips (Over seas I've been to Africa twice, Spain twice, France, Thailand, Malaysia, and Dominican Republic twice).

*I also love geocaching with my nephews, working around my over 100 year old house, going on adventures, entertaining, and hanging with family & friends.... and basically embracing my singleness- it's a gift right now.

*God has blessed me with an amazing life- I want to give Him all the glory!!!!
