Unique and GORGEOUS Tea Set (Absolutely Stunning)

by 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)

by 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!


Tea Cozies: Cute, Thoughtful, and (Very) Unique Gift Ideas for Tea Lovers

by Leave a Comment

I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite tea cozies from Amazon for this “Christmas Gift Ideas for Tea Lovers” post. I only recently used my first tea cozy and fell instantly in love. There’s something extra, extra comforting and… you guessed it, cozy about using a tea cozy.

Talk about well-named.

The Red and Grey Tea Cozy to the right is one of my favorites. Given that I love cats even more than I love tea, it isn’t surprising.

This thick, durable knitted cozy fits large cups and mugs – making it as perfect for coffee and hot chocolate as it is tea.

The cozy is made of 2 layers of knitted fabric and thick enough to protect your fingers while keeping your tea hot longer. Cozy has 2 strings above the handle to keep it in place.

  • Made from 50% wool/ 50% acrylic yarn.
  • Colors – red/burgundy mix, grey heather. C
  • cozy dimensions (unstretched): about 4”h x 10′ w (9 cm x 24.5 cm).

Hand wash, dry flat. Mug not included. See Red and Grey Tea Cozy for more information.

I also love the teal tea cozy, pictured below.

The Teal Cozy also keeps your hands from getting burned while keeping your hot beverage hot.

I love the button more than I can tell you. Talk about stylish! It fits cups and mugs that have a circumference of 10.5 inches and a height of 4 inches.

See teal tea cozy for more information about this particular tea cozy.

Amazon has more handmade tea cozies (click the link for the entire beautiful collection) than you can imagine – in tons of styles, colors, and designs. You can find the perfect one you have in mind.

There are also a lot of tea cozies for coffeehouse-style drinks (pictured below).


The beautiful hand-crocheted cup sleeve cozy on the right is a perfectly thoughtful gift idea for any coffee or tea lover.

It adds style to your cup, while also protecting your hands from heat or condensation.

People who frequent coffee shops (I’m raising my hand, here) can keep a few in their car, or even their handbag, for times when you simply must stop by the coffee shop before you go to your next destination!

This cozy is also easy to clean – simply hand wash and let it air dry.

Handmade to fit 12 to 20 oz to go coffee cups. The cozy is pictured here on a Starbucks 16-ounce plastic reusable cup (not included with purchase, of course!). It measures approximately 3.5 to 4 inches in height.


Twinings Darjeeling Tea: Sweet Addiction!

by Leave a Comment

There are certain varieties (and brands) of tea that I always, always, always have on hand. Always. The tea you see pictured here, Twinings Darjeeling Tea is one of the ones I’m most loyal to.

There are other brands of Darjeeling but I haven’t found one I love as much. There’s just something about Darjeeling done right and Twinings does Darjeeling SO VERY RIGHT!

Did you know that Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706? Talk about longevity and on the job experience. Little wonder they’re one of the best tea brands in the business. You pick up a bit of knowledge over hundreds of years, I’d imagine.

Darjeeling tea is one of those teas that tastes exceptional iced or hot. For people like me, who drink tea all day and all night, this is a must. If I had to choose my favorite way to enjoy a cup of Darjeeling, however, it’d be hot.

Here’s the kicker, I’m a honey fanatic and add honey to most of the cups of hot tea I drink. However, even I wouldn’t dream of adding anything to a cup of Darjeeling tea. It’d seem… well, wrong. This tea has a hint of sweetness without adding anything at all. That, as well as its beautiful fragrance, make this one of my favorite teas.

This Heavenly intense black tea is from the foothills of the Himalayas, and it doesn’t let you forget its exotic background for one second.

Some teas are perfectly content to have a subtle, almost shy, personality. They’re subtle, so they don’t make a lot of noise. They’re just happy to be in your presence. Subtle teas are like, it’s up to you – if you want to add a little fruit, fine. If you want to stir in a little honey, great. If you want to eat cookies or pie as you sip, wonderful. Have at it.

It’s all about you, and subtle teas insist on being your second in command.

Then there’s Darjeeling Tea. Darjeeling Tea is the star of the show, with a delightful diva-like presence that I LOVE.

If you’ve never tried Darjeeling Tea, you have to grab some Twinings Darjeeling Tea and prepare to fall in love.

Continued Below….

Darjeeling Tea

You’ll find yourself following the same ritual I do:

  • I open the box of Twinings Darjeeling Tea
  • I put my nose to the box and inhale the wonderful aroma
  • I joyfully brew up an amazing mug to enjoy, usually two cups because one is never enough
  • I wonder how I ever got along without Darjeeling

It’s a wonderful ritual and one I highly recommend.


Oh, Honey! Glass, No Drip Honey Dispenser (Where Has This Been All My Life!?!)

by Leave a Comment

Ever come across something you had no idea even existed but it’s love at first sight? The kind where you have a, “Where have you been my whole life?!?!” moment? That’s what happened a few minutes (literally MINUTES) ago when I saw this no-drip  Glass Honey Dispenser on Amazon.  I wasn’t even looking for it (heck, how could I – I didn’t know it existed!), but it appeared as a “recommended for you” product and I am ecstatic that it did.

I use honey A LOT. A LOT A LOT. As a heavy tea drinker, I put it in just about every mug of hot tea I make (except for Darjeeling and fruit-infused teas). I also use it on toast and in every single bowl of oatmeal I make (which is in the thousands a year).

Friends, I love oatmeal.

I estimate that I wipe down plastic bottles of honey 10 times a day. Even when they’ve been given a bath, they still seem kind of sticky, don’t they?

The Glass Honey Dispenser  is just what I needed – without even knowing I needed it!

Coffee and Tea Signs on Amazon – Great Gift Ideas for MANY of Us!

by Leave a Comment

While I am a bona fide Crazy Tea Chick, I love my coffee as much. They serve different purposes in my mug-chugging life, but they’re both in my DNA. Thing is, that seems to be the way it is with a lot of us – we are passionate about both of these beauties.

I guess that’s why I love, love, love all of the Coffee and Tea Signs on Amazon. They pay tribute to both of our passions.

The black and white Coffee + Tea Sign to the right has a vintage look to it I love. This would be perfect for a kitchen or even an office, wouldn’t it?

You know – let them know where you stand!

I also love the Whitewashed Wood Tea & Coffee Arrow Signs, pictured on the left. In fact, they’re one of my favorite things of the moment – I love them!

These have a rustic feel that is my aesthetic. They kind of sum up my relationship with coffee and tea as well.

Coffee gets me going, while tea helps me head in the other direction. One launches me and the other helps me come in for a landing!

This would make a great gift idea for anyone who travels the same caffeinated path.

 

Description:

  • Wall mounted Tea & Coffee whitewashed wood arrow signs perfect for use in your coffee shop, cafe, or break room
  • Can be used for decorative or directional purposes
  • Whitewashed wood finish complements rustic decors
  • Easy to mount to wall surfaces with proper hardware (Mounting hardware included)
  • SPECS: 15.75 W x 0.75 D x 6.0 H (in inches)

There are many, many, many Coffee and Tea Signs on Amazon – some that sit on shelves (or counters or desks) and others that are made for hanging around. Some even light up! These would make wonderful, thoughtful gifts for anyone who loves coffee and tea.
