Great Tea-Rex Mug: For the Tea Lover With a Great Sense of Humor!

September 16, 2020 by Joi Leave a Comment

This Tea-Rex Mug (Amazon link) from Artisan Owl is just a little too cute. I love the size (I’m one of those who wants the biggest mug of coffee or tea possible), the adorable dinosaur drinking its tea, and the fun pun.

I also love the fact that it makes me think of my 2-1/2 year old grandbaby who is OBSESSED with dinosaurs! When he sees me drinking from this, he is going to get the biggest kick out of it… any chance I have to be a “cool MiMi,” you’d better believe I’m taking it!

From Artisan Owl:

Our mugs are printed using high-definition graphics, detailed color contrast, and completed with a high gloss finish. Our double-sided design allows both right-handed and left-handed caffeine drinkers to show off this vibrant mug to family, friends, and coworkers. Additionally, our mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe, which allows you to enjoy them over and over.

See Tea-Rex Mug (Amazon link) for a closer look.

There Are Always Miracles… Love How this Gorgeous Tea Mug Thinks!

August 15, 2020 by Joi Leave a Comment

Who in their right mind would post back to back Elephant mug posts? I mean… there’s a such thing as redundancy, right?!

Fair. But there’s also such a thing as elephants being too magnificent to NOT post about! Especially when the elephant mug in question is as gorgeous as this one and has such an incredibly inspirational quote on its… well… on its trunk.

This stunning White Ceramic Tea Mug (Amazon link) is shaped like a beautiful elephant – don’t you love the gold details – and comes in its own little gift box, making it perfect for gift giving.

I have always been obsessed with quotes about miracles (in miracles, themselves, for that matter!). My favorite quote has long been, “Somewhere right now a miracle is happening,” but now the quote on this tea mug ties with it, “There are always miracles…”

Love that!

See White Ceramic Tea Mug (Amazon link) for more pictures and a closer look.

I probably won’t have an elephant mug post for a few weeks. Well, maybe..

Adorable Elephant Tea Mug

August 13, 2020 by Joi Leave a Comment

There are cute tea mugs, then there are CUTE tea mugs – this Elephant Tea Mug (Amazon Link) takes it to yet another level of cuteness.

This beauty is available on Amazon for less than $15 and I am completely in love. This would make a perfect gift for the tea lover in your life – or, you could always follow my lead and simply grab one for yourself!

I love the thought of warming my hands on her big belly. I also love that the over-sized mug has s a clever opening where you can stash your tea bag when you’re through with it. I do the vast majority of tea drinking in our den and invariably have to trek all the way to the kitchen to toss my bag or I leave it on a small saucer on my end table. Pretty unsightly, but on some nights it beats walking all the way to the kitchen.

Heck, on some nights, once I’m in my chair moving to do anything is out of the question!

This adorable mug holds a full 15 ounces. Made of heat-resistant ceramic. Machine washable (love that, too). 

See Elephant Tea Mug (Amazon Link) for a closer look.

February 20, 2020 by Joi Leave a Comment

(When you click through the link or image, you can see just why I love this set so much – it is just stunning).

Ridiculously Beautiful Rockurwok White Pearl Teapot

December 14, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

The Rockurwok White Pearl Teapot, pictured here, is nothing short of gorgeous. I love the snow white color and am crazy about the brown accents.

  • High quality. 304 stainless steel, durable and not easy to get rust, heats fast, corrosion resistant. Coated with high-temperature paint, do not fade and easy to clean. This kettle whistles when water boils, to prevent from boiling over.
  • Thickened bottom. The bottom of this tea kettle consists of 3 layers, totally 0.2” thick. It is able to withstand higher temperatures, heats fast and evenly, more durable than other kettles
  • Slip & heat resistant handle. Both lid handle and C-type holding handle are anti-skid, heat-resistance and comfortable design. And the grip-open design makes it more convenient to open the spout, avoiding heating damage from steam. You can handle it with one hand, the spout can stay open until you close it by your thumb pressing it. Non-slip and safe to pour water.
  • Apply to various stovetops. Applicable for induction cooker, electric furnace, gas and natural gas stovetops.

Everything Zen Teapot: Beautiful Gift Idea for Tea Lovers

December 6, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

Everything Zen Teapot

Everything Zen Teapot with Bamboo Trivet

I’ve been looking high, low, in, out, and right, left for the most beautiful and unique Christmas gift ideas for tea lovers and tea drinkers and the beauty above actually came to me! I was sent an Everything Zen Teapot (with its beautiful bamboo trivet) in exchange for telling my tea blog readers about it.

I love mine so much I couldn’t wait to let you know abut it –  I’m certain this will make an ideal gift for any tea lover in your life… including yourself!

I love that this is a quick, convenient way to infuse whole leaf tea – but there’s more to love than that. A lot of infusers are clunky and… if we’re being honest.. anything but pretty and relaxing, whereas “pretty and relaxing” are right in the Everything Zen Teapot‘s wheelhouse!

Everything Zen Loose Tea Pitcher

Needless to say, it’s wonderful looks (and relaxing, zen-like vibe) would be for naught if it didn’t make a perfect little pot of tea. I’m thrilled to say that it does its job beautifully. I have made every kind of loose leaf tea in the world with this little beauty and it’s fabulous each and every time.

The one I used when photographing my Everything Zen Teapot was a Strawberry Loose Leaf tea from Adagio… a personal obsession!

Everything Zen Teapot Features

  • Elegant design. Makes two mug size servings perfect for one or two people. Our teapot is handmade and brings a little bit of Zen to your home. We can all use more of that these days.
  • The generously sized tea infuser is food-grade stainless steel with a custom fit bamboo coaster.
  • Microwave and dishwasher safe.
  • The Perfect Tea Pot is also the perfect gift! It’s not always easy to find unique gifts, and here you have one!
  • Glass teapots are the ultimate way to brew tea, and it’s so relaxing to see the tea while it is steeping, all those flavors, essences, and colors blending into the water.

About Everything Zen

Everything Zen was founded by two Southern California friends with the vision of creating high-end, visually stunning products that make your life a little easier. The city of Los Angeles often feels like a whirlwind and it is easy to get swept away. We chose our flagship product to be a teapot to celebrate the ancient use of tea for its many health benefits, as well as for the quality of encouraging us to take pause in our busy lives. At Everything Zen we aren’t trying to stop the winds, but rather to offer some of the essentials that we have found helpful to find sanctuary within the eye of the storm. So that in those times when we all find ourselves in the chaos, we can stop, take a breath, clear our minds, have some tea and make everything just a bit more Zen.

The Everything Zen Loose Teapot with Bamboo Trivet (I’m crazy about the design on this lovely trivet) is everything you’d want in a loose leaf teapot and then some. I’m crazy about mine and guarantee you anyone on your list will be just as crazy about their’s.

Crazy Tea Chick Idea: Giving a bag of loose leaf tea (Adagio’s Strawberry or Blood Orange Loose Leaf Tea are just two of the many choices) along with this teapot makes your gift extra special. This way, they can enjoy their new favorite teapot right away… and maybe even share a mug with you!

24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar from Adagio Teas…. LOVE THIS!

November 24, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar from Adagio Teas

24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar from Adagio Teas

I am obsessed with Christmas. I have been obsessed with Christmas for all of my life and am, honestly, more in love with it now than when I (an only child) had a mountain of dolls and toys in front of me. There’s something to be said for growing older and realizing just how magical the Season truly is.

Needless to say, this time every year, our home is completely decked out in Christmas decor, ornaments, advent calendars, snowmen, etc. – every single room, including the laundry room gets into the Spirit.

You’re looking at the newest Christmas item to give our home extra cheer. The best part about it is that it also gave us extra tea. Win, win!

24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar from Adagio Teas

The History of the Advent Calendar

From Adagio Teas: The history of the Advent Calendar dates to the mid-19th century when German Protestants made chalk marks on doors or lit candles to count the days leading up to Christmas. In the U.S. however, Dwight D. Eisenhower is often credited for popularizing the Advent calendar tradition. During his presidency, Ike was photographed opening an Advent calendar with his grandchildren and the photo ran in several national newspapers.

Adagio Teas

The 24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar from Adagio Teas is an especially fun way to count down to the big Day. Each day, you pop open one of the hidden “drawers” to reveal a new individually wrapped bag of tea. They’re from Adagio Teas’ VERY popular varieTEAS, so you know each one will be absolutely perfect.

The Advent Calendar is just the thing you or any tea lover in your life needs this Christmas season. If you give it as a gift, just be sure to give it early so it can be fully enjoyed!

If you have cats like I do, you get an EXTRA bonus…. you know how much cats love empty boxes. This little girl has been in this box for 3 hours napping.

I recommend this Advent Calendar 110 percent. The box is gorgeous, the teas are outstanding, it’s a lot of fun to see what each day brings for brewing, and the box… there’s always the box…

Unique and GORGEOUS Tea Set (Absolutely Stunning)

November 10, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

I always say something along the lines of, “Click through for more information…” or “Click the link for a closer look…” but this time it is absolutely essential that you click through and see this gorgeous tea set up close and personal.

When I tell you about lovelies I find on Amazon, the only thing available for me to use as a picture is a tiny little (basically) thumbnail (like the one to the right).

Usually this suffices, but every now and then, the details you’re missing by not seeing it LARGE pains my tea-loving heart. In this instance, you simply have to see the larger version of these glasses. While the teapot is, itself, a real knockout, the glasses are where it’s at.

They’re simply spectacular.

This set would make a gorgeous gift idea for anyone in your life BUT, make no mistake about it, it’d also be outstanding to pull out at your own family get-togethers this Thanksgiving and Christmas.

You’ll knock their socks off.

See (No, REALLY!) this gorgeous tea set up close and personal.

Adorable Honey Pot with Wood Honey Dipper (Blue or Yellow)

October 25, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

Love this! I’ve probably mentioned on the tea blog a few times how honey-obsessed I am. Seriously, my love for honey is legendary. Not only do I use it in hot tea, I also turn to it for toast, fried chicken (drizzled on hot fried chicken is like something you would not believe!), oatmeal, grits, protein balls, etc. etc. etc.

The Honey Pot with Wood Honey Dipper (pictured in Eggshell Blue – also available in a vivid yellow) is an especially beautiful honey-holder. Some people collect honey pots (which would be a fun collection, wouldn’t it??), and this would be a gorgeous addition.

  • Keep honey on hand with this beautifully designed honey pot, measuring 3.25 inches in diameter and 4 inches tall
  • Bamboo honey dipper is included. Use the dipper to drizzle honey on toast, pastries or in tea
  • Made from durable glazed stoneware
  • Lid features integrated handle and notch (to keep honey dipper in place when not in use)
  • To care for your honey pot, hand wash or dishwasher safe (top rack)

See Honey Pot with Wood Honey Dipper for more information and to check out the vibrant yellow one. I have to really consider starting a honey pot collection, myself. Goodness knows they’d feel right at home here in Honey Heaven!
