button tea cup shirt

Time for another tea craft-

I had so much fun making a button tea cup shirt.  super easy, I just kept playing around until I liked the look. I used E6000 glue (its waterproof).  I've already washed the shirt once and had no issues.

Tea Chai Te Lavender Earl Grey

https://www.teachaite.com/products/earl-grey-lavender-organic-tea

 

A special black tea with bergamot and lavender flowers. Caffeinated.

 

 

  

I was so very excited to try this tea.  I love this tea shop!  I visit every year when I am in town. I also am a huge fan of Lavender Earl Grey.  In 2016 while in Washington/Oregon I tried a lavender Earl Grey and I loved it, I wished I had bought some.  So, imagine my excitement when I was in town and saw that Tea Chai had this same tea!!!  I rushed to buy it.  I got home and I was amazed how horrible the smell was- it smelled like a cheap lavender perfume.  But, I went ahead and made the tea.  It was the worst tea I have ever tasted, and as a tea blogger- this says a lot!!!  I threw away all the tea. I can't tell you how sad I am on this epic fail.

Midnight Blue, Ohio Tea Co

 

I was a fan of this new tea, but sadly my family was not.  Crazy enough this was my FIRST ever pot of tea I have ever made!!!!  Can you believe it?  I usually do individual tea cups.  But, I felt like an adult making an entire pot- lol

First pot of tea!!!!

Heartland, chai latte

 Loving the gift cards!!!!!  FREE IS ALWAYS GOOD!

 

I got gift cards from my mom and dad in my Christmas stockings.  I got a chai latte from Heartland Point.  It is unfortunately the only drive thru place in Orrville to get a chai.  Heartland Points teas are sub par. Orrville is in need of a place to get good tea.  But, in a pinch when I get a breakfast sandwich I get a chai too.

Purple tea things

all good things come in purple!

I'd love to vacation here and work on my sixth book...

Even the Queen loves her purple-and we know she loves her tea

Smith, Fez

Spring harvested full leaf Mao Feng China green tea, Pacific Northwest spearmint leaves and Australian lemon myrtle.

 

This tea is incredible cold brewed!!!  I drank this tea in Portland with Steve Smith a few years ago. I like this green tea warm, but its a completely different taste cold. The spearmint in the tea is strong and brisk... so refreshing.  cold brewed is like an iced tea-only better, more unique flavors..
