One of my favorite gifts was this teapot, that my mom put in my stocking. I love it. She tucked in some tea samples, that are in bags, but now i want to take the plunge (Ha! Ha! snerk) to loose tea. Any recommendations?
We finally got snow today, about 4 inches, which is twice as much as my family in Houston got on Christmas Eve. I had a message on my cell from my cousin, who had taken the time to research what was going on here to see that it was 46 and raining while they were making snow sculptures in their front yard. Hrmph.
We left the house for the first time in a few days, to go to the hardware store and get some caulking supplies for our front window. If anything, the snow has us itching for spring and new windows. I ran into a kid while out, and Dave saw his boss, and once again, I am reminded that I am a citizen of this small city, and not just a guest.
So, right now I’m sipping Chai tea from my new bright red fiestaware mug, adding hot tea from my little orange teapot as I drink, and looooving not being at school. Now, if I can just add pregnant to the party, this would be a perfect moment.
Dear Gretchen,
Thanks for including a link to “one of your favorite gifts” your new orange teapot! We noticed that we were getting visitors to the web site in unusual way, and found your link. I am glad that you are interested in taking the plunge into loose tea; you will be amazed at the difference. I would like to send you some free samples to try in your new pot. Please let me know what kind of tastes you prefer and where we can send the samples. Hope you have a “tea”riffic New Year, Beth Johnston, Teas Etc.
Ooh, free tea! Besides Teas Etc., I’ll also put in a plug for adagio.com. They have some good samplers, and their earl grey is the best I’ve ever had. I’ve got a little Bee House teapot too, but it’s not as cute as yours…
