My new shipment of Teas have arrived.................


There is nothing like opening a large
box of freshly shipped pound packages of tea.
The aroma.....................mmmmm. 


I placed an unusually large order with my
favorite wholesaler and it has arrived.

My visitors often say my home smells 
like tea and assorted candles.  
And that is a good thing.



A new one - Blarney Blend
(see side Page - HopeChest Loose Leaf Teas)


                                                                                                                                       It will most certainly be the one we drink with our Annual 
St. Patrick's Tea, tiny shamrocks and all.








See below (next post) for a listing
of my yummy teas and more info
on the "PAGES"on the
right of this blog page.

New Teas! New Teas! New Teas!

The Jubilee

It is exciting and enjoyable right now 
to be a tea and England enthusiast.  
My tea friends and I are finding lots of time 
for tea and celebrations.


This was taken Saturday at the English Tea Room 
in a small town about an hour away.
I even made my own fascinater to wear (at 2:00 AM).
Some of us are also getting together to 
watch any and all Jubilee coverage, 
much like we did the Royal Wedding a few years ago. 

     


God Bless England.
