Sanne Tea

I received a surprise package this morning full of goodies - the perks of being a tea reviewer!

I checked out the Sanne Tea website and absolutely loved it.
I'm definitely adding them to my list of favorite tea companies.
Stayed tuned on www.teaviews.com to see my review of this tea.

My Favorite Things

Tea, knitting, journaling, flowers, and sunshine

Teatime Friday

A big cup of Shake Your Boo-Tea and a delicious oat muffin- best way to start the day. 

Happy Friday!

Teatime Series

Since I review tea, I drink tea ALL the time. I don't like whipping up my tea and throwing it in any old mug. I carefully make my tea and I make sure it looks pretty. My whole tea making process has inspired a new photography series I'm calling Teatime.

Here's a taste of the pictures to come!

Hand-painted Teacup

I recently went to a place with my friend and we painted our very own teacups! I absolutely love how they turned out.

This morning I enjoyed my gluten-free lemon bars and Spicely Tulsi Chai in my new teacup.

Can I take a moment just to explain to you how amazing this Tulsi Chai tea is?
It is caffeine-free yet a very rich and smooth brew. Also, the list of health benefits is amazing.

Tulsi is stress-relieving, aids restful sleep, aids digestion, helps with headaches, helps maintain healthy eyesight, can prevent kidney stones, improves the immune system, helps prevent colds, fights gum disease, helps with bad breath, and the list goes on!

I'm going to start drinking a cup of this every day before bed. It not only has amazing health benefits but tastes lovely!

Teatime is All the Time

My morning has consisted of: stuffing myself with pancakes, pinning everything I see on Pinterest, laying in the snow while staring at the sky, and making this magical black tea.

I wrote a review for this Wild Mountain Black Tea from Canton Tea Co. and I absolutely love it. It's a very rare black tea from the mountains of Yunnan China. When I drink this tea I imagine the beautiful purple trees it comes from and I wonder how beautiful the mountains are. Maybe one day I'll get to visit the places I drink tea from. For now though, I am content looking at pictures and drinking this magical tea from the safety of my cozy bedroom. 

Also, did I mention that this lovely teacup/teapot is from England!? My friend brought it back for me. I LOVE it. 

Teacup Painting

I haven't posted in quite a while. I just don't feel normal when I'm not doing something creative and sharing it with you all! So today I set aside some time just to paint and knit. It made me feel so much better. I can't wait to finished these paintings and show them to you!

Spring Tea

Here are pictures of my table from the Spring Tea! I went for the British theme and most of the tea cups were from England. I also added some Union Jack bunting!
