I was looking through my linens, and I found a vintage crocheted kitchen pot holder in the shape of a milk jug! It is so darling, I think I have to include it in the basket with the tea and the scone mix!

I am a big fan of Zhena's Gypsy Teas.
http://www.gypsytea.com/ I love their Chocolate Chai, Berry Bellini, and Pomegranate Rose. Berry Bellini is a tea version of the famous drink. It's super yummy.

Tea!! plus Welcome to Steepster!
Being a Brit by birth, then visiting England throughout my childhood and adolescence then living there 1989-1991 made me a tea addict...I can't go a day without my daily fix!
 Nowadays I drink tea only, no coffee for this femme!I used 2 Mrs. Tea makers until they sadly broke down from years of use... then found the Breville One-Touch Tea Maker from Bloomingdales.com and am thoroughly enjoying my re-introduction to loose leaf teas that I had previously enjoyed in England. Bought a bunch of loose teas from adagioteas.com and am enjoying them tremendously especially mango melange.... but thanks to this thread it seems there are a lot more sites I have to peek at and sample from! Wanted to share a site I've been frequenting lately. It has reviews of teas, ranking the top 100 as sampled by members... has a message board... has a tea-house search option.... and has daily specials for members (there's no cost to membership)... http://steepster.com Enjoy! (I'm DressyFemme on their boards).... Dressy

I love tea too. I enjoy Adagio Teas too. They have a great Blood Orange one which is great substitute for orange juice at breakfast. Have you tried the Zhena's Gyspy Teas? They are excellent. I have never used a tea maker. I just use a kettle and a strainer if needed. Is it easier using a maker? Thanks for recommending Steepster. Take care!

I'm looking forward to having afternoon tea at a local tea parlor this week with my lovely little lady. One of the things we enjoy is when they bring out a big tray that has dainty bottles containing leaves of all their flavors. Olfactory heaven.
I've been reading the thread for inspiration. I think it may have been Vegas a few years back when I won the tea basket. I remember the contents of the basket better than the event itself. LOL

More tea talk & Breville tea maker info.

Yes, using a maker is much easier. All you do is plug it in, fill the carafe with 1200 ml of water, use the scoop provided with the maker to measure out 5 scoops of loose tea into the basket and put the cover on the basket, put the basket onto the magnetized post, put the cover on top of the carafe, press the buttons for type of tea (black, white, oolong, herbal, etc.) and desired strength, and then press the TEA button. It does the rest! and keeps it warm for an hour. Plus it has a timer feature. It also has a Basket feature which allows you to steep the tea longer if you want an even stronger flavor. Easy to clean, too. Here's the link to the product's website: http://www.brevilleusa.com/tea/one-touch-tea-maker.html It can be purchased at http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalo...xx.esn_results It's expensive... $315.00... (look on ebay or other websites first, these are selling out fast) but if you have the money, it's a very worthwhile investment. I haven't had it make one type of tea I haven't liked yet. Happy Tea Time! Dressy

I love coconut chai's too Dressy!
I find them to be especially nice after our dinner meal with a tiny lemon cookie or something else with just a bit of tartness to it. I have a coconut chai (I almost typed "chair" here! *snort*) that is just one of those Celestial Seasons boxes and its still pretty good. Pretty yummy for less than $3

Hi Dressy. I bought the Coconut Chai for my Mom as she loves pina colada's. I thought she might like it and she loves it. I haven't tried it yet. I really like Zhena's Berry Bellini. It's the perfect light fruity drink. I like chai, but I'm allergic to milk, so I have to be really careful with it. I do like spiced chai, as it usually doesn't have milk in it.
Oh wow. Your maker sounds a bit like the Coureg my Mom got. It doesn't have the multiple settings, which I would want too. I like my tea strong. My favorite black tea is English Breakfast with a bit of sugar or honey. I like how bold it is. Thanks for the link. I can't afford it now, but I certainly can droll over it. Hugs! Quote:
