Tea sets

I love my tea cups and tea sets.  Most of them have special meanings and bring back fun memories, and some where just a good deal at  2nd hand store.

Pick a tea set and invite yourself over for tea!!!

This was my first tea set.  I bought it in San Fran Chinatown. My sister and I have almost matching sets.  It was so fun when we picked out our sets together.

This was a brand new set I got for $10 a 2nd hand store.  It was still plastic wrapped in the box.

This was $10 from a store I used to work at, Audrey's Attic.  She had a fun mix of new and antique items.  I love the flowers on this one!

This one was a gift and was hand painted!!!

This one was $6.00 at Goodwill.  I think it was new too, it still had packing styrofoam attached to and in the tea pot.

This was a birthday gift. It's a Kungfu Tea set. This is when you want to have the full tea ceremony.  I even went to a class to learn how to serve from this set.

I bought this one, just a fun tea set with the goldfish in the cups.

I got this set at the Octagon House at their gift shop.

This set is from Turkey.  A friend who lived in Turkey was selling the tea pot at a benefit auction, I purchased it.  Then the next year she sold the table and chairs which were from Turkey also... I had to buy them as well, lol.  The cups are Turkish too.  I went on line and purchased tea from Turkey to brew in the pot.  I am ready for my Turkish Tea Party!

This is a tea set I bought in Conakry, Guinea Africa.  I was blessed to go to a tea ceremony, it lasted over 2 hours.  You have 3 glasses of tea, each one is made differently.  It is a really cool experience.

I love displaying my tea sets and seeing them everyday.

Broken Grounds, Peach Green Storehouse Iced Tea, Millersburg, Ohio

https://www.facebook.com/BrokenGroundsCoffeeCO/

Abby and I were out and about on my Wednesday Wanderings.  We decided to try Broken Grounds in Millersburg.  It is a nice cafe. 

I decided to try the Peach Green Storehouse Iced Tea, it was refreshing and very good.  Storehouse Tea is from Cleveland Ohio, I just had some of their tea for the first time about a week before.  The tea is light and refreshing.  

On Sunday a church meets here, Broken Grounds Church.  I love that too. A coffee/tea place with a ministry!!

Abby and I enjoyed our teas.  It was a fun day running around the area looking for tea.

There is also a nice place to sit outside.

Sure House Iced Golden Milk Latte

I was treated by a co-worker  to an iced Golden Milk Latte.  I was excited to see my friend Rachael.   She made a great ICED Golden Milk Latte.  She recommend I try my favorite drink, iced.   And she was right, it was delicious.

Golden Spice is- Clove, cinnamon, Black Pepper, cardamon, ginger and turmeric

Shaka, Guava Ginger Blossom, Mamaki Tea

https://www.shakatea.com/bottle-tea/12-count-case-of-guava-ginger-blossom

from the website, "Brewed with māmaki, a hydrating, herbal tea only found and grown in the Hawaiian Islands. Hikes through the wet, Koʻolau Mountain Range on Oʻahu are never complete without foraging for guavas and running into patches of white ginger blossoms that can be munched on and have a milder, more refreshing, lightly floral, ginger taste."

I tried this tea, and I was not a fan.  It was too sweet for me.  But, decide for yourself.  

Possmei Mango Bubble Tea with Bursting Blueberry Boba

I made Bubble tea for my Sunday School class today.  It was a hit.

I used the mango instant mix and made a gallon of bubble tea and then added Bursting Blueberry Boba.

I really love the bursting bubbles!!  And much easier then the tapioca balls.  A couple of months ago I thought I had come up with this idea of bursting bubbles.  When you go for frozen yogurt you can get bursting bubbles, but I had never had them with bubble tea.  I told a co-worker I was going to make it a new thing.  Then I went for bubble tea in RI- and they had bursting bubbles in their bubble tea.  I guess I did not create something new. 

I told the students that they were not allowed to use their straws as musical instruments during the service.  They were using the straws as trumpets and drum sticks, lol.

I had 7 youth today.  They are such great kids!!!  We talked about the youth conference that they had just returned from in Florida. It was wonderful to hear how the Lord worked in their lives this past week.  I love these teens!!

Ayurvedic Golden Milk Blend- making lattes to go

https://www.ayurvedicherbsdirect.com/?msclkid=991dacf4ca6f11a51aedf1a04af0013d

My new favorite.  If you had a dollar for every time I said/wrote that you might be rich, haha.  But, this one latte is fantastic!  I bought this instant Golden Milk Latte mix from Amazon.  I wanted to make what I had at Sure House Cafe in Orrville.

The first time I made it was too strong.  Way too strong!  But, then I used just a smaller teaspoon, not heaping, but nice amount.  I boiled water and poured 1/4 cup into the mug, adding the tea mix stirring the tea trying to dissolve as much as I could. Then I frothed milk, adding maple syrup in to the milk as it frothed.  And poured it into the mug.  Boom, magic!!!

I made it for my mom and I the other night and we both loved it.  Then I made it for my friend and co-worker and we both thought it was so very good!!!  A definite keeper!!

Enjoying my garden and God's beauty that is all around us.
