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

by 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.

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

by 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

by 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).

Hario “Pure” Leaf Tea Pot… Beautifully Holds 4 Cup Servings

by Leave a Comment

The Hario “Pure” Leaf Tea Pot (Amazon link) is absolutely one of the best ways to get every delicious note and flavor from your tea leaves. Not only that, it looks downright handsome sitting on your counter.

  • Heat treated glass
  • Stainless steel mesh strainer
  • Glass lid
  • 4-Cup size
  • Glass handle

One of the features I like best about this one is the 4 cup size.  A lot of tea leaf pots are geared toward one or two cups of tea, which always leaves me complaining, “They don’t know me very well!” I’m not sure I’ve ever been or ever will be in the mood for just one or two cups of tea. My favorite mug, itself, holds a little more than two and if my husband is joining me in the moment, I’m pretty sure he’d want more than the scant amount I’d leave him.

Description from Amazon:

All Hario teapots are made of heat-resistant glass produced from main materials, such as silica, borax and boric acid refined from 100-percent natural minerals. With a generous size stainless steel mesh strainer any tea can be brewed to a great taste, black, green, white, oolong, or herbal. Stylish appearance.

Rabbit Teapot – Just in Time for Easter!

by Leave a Comment

How beautiful is this little Rabbit Teapot?! I was rounding up some Easter dishes and towels for an Easter-Related post on my Food Blog when I saw this beauty.

I told her I’d be right back, so for her not to go hopping off – I knew I had to show my fellow tea lovers this teapot.

I go “ALL OUT” for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, New Year’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries… first days (.. of baseball… of college football season… of NFL season), etc.

I decorate according to the holiday, season, special day, or favorite team.

I suppose, truth be told, the kid in me never saw fit to grow up. I’m guessing, at this point, she never will!

When you click the link above (or the adorable image – both are Amazon links), you can see a much larger view of this beauty.

Jake & Leo Stylish Goose-Neck Pour Over Kettle for Tea or Coffee

by Leave a Comment

This Jake & Leo Pour Over Kettle (Amazon link) -for tea or coffee – is crazy handsome. I love the goose-neck, dimpled body, and.. as for the handle.. it seals the deal beautifully.

What’s to Love?

The “Dimple” design isn’t just modern looking, it’s also a very hot and stylish look right now. I’m seeing dimple patterns turning up everywhere and I’m wild about it. The Jake & Leo ‘Dimple’ Pour Over Kettle is quite “on trend” as the kids say.

I love a goose-neck spout when making coffee and tea. In fact, I have gotten so infatuated with them (and spoiled to their effectiveness) that I am like a fish out of water when I have to use anything else! The precision of a goose-neck kettle ruins all other kettles for you.

This kettle is suitable for all stove types. Our stove top is ceramic and not all pans or kettles are suitable. I LOVE that this beauty is.

Last but not least…. it’s beautiful!

Take a closer look at the Jake & Leo Pour Over Kettle (Amazon link) and see if you’re as smitten as I am.

 

Beautiful Iced Tea Glasses: Time to Get Ready for Warm Weather!

by Leave a Comment

It’s been gorgeous here in Kentucky the past few days and, as I do every year around this time, my thoughts have turned entirely to flower beds, grilling out, homemade ice cream, and long walks. I’d say the thoughts have turned to iced tea but, let’s be honest here, my thoughts never leave iced tea.

As the weather heats up, however, I do drink even more of the magical elixir. A lot more. As in so many glasses a day I couldn’t even begin to count them all! Due to being a stereotypical clutz, I find that I need more iced tea glasses, ass most of ours have been broken. Have you ever noticed that you hardly ever (IF ever) drop a plastic cup? It’s always the glass ones that are the acrobats!

I’ve found some Libbey Gibraltar Iced Tea Glasses (Amazon link) I’m wild about. They come in a set of 12, which would see even me through an entire “iced tea season.”

The one pictured is the 22 oz glass, though 12 and 16 oz are available… for the amateur tea drinkers in our lives! Just leave the 22 oz glasses to us pros, am I right?

So long as I don’t break them all.

See Libbey Gibraltar Iced Tea Glasses (Amazon link)  for more information. These are gorgeous!

Gorgeous Cast Iron Te Cups and Saucers

by Leave a Comment

I love things that are unexpected, whimsical, and off-beat – yet stylish, beautiful, and unmistakable. These beautiful Cast Iron Tea Cups (Amazon affiliate link) check ALL of these boxes and then some!

These Japanese style cast iron tea cup & saucer set heat evenly and retain heat well, and hold up to 2-3 ounce.

Made from sturdy iron, the black interior enamel coating of each cup prevents rusting, and also keeps the taste of the tea pure and allow for easy cleaning.

There are two styles available: The Modern Wave (pictured) and Retro Dot (equally beautiful).

The Modern Wave comes in Midnight Black, Navy Blue (shown above), Pink, and Turquoise Blue. The Retro Dot comes in Blue, Pink, Light Green, and Beige. They are all exquisitely beautiful.

Ridiculously Beautiful Rockurwok White Pearl Teapot

by 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.

  • 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.
