Enjoying a cuppa at eteaket in Edinburgh, Scotland – 2018

About Me

I’m a retired catalog designer residing in Maine with my Maine Man and our two kitty cats.

My tea-loving journey began at a young age when I couldn’t resist stealing a sip of my mother’s tea from her mug.

While I may not be a tea connoisseur or an expert taster, tea holds a special place in my heart as a steadfast companion and source of comfort during challenging times. I relish the ritual of tea preparation and the vast array of tea varieties that await exploration.

Above all, I find joy in sharing my passion for tea with others who share my interests, as well as sharing the many photographs I capture.

“Tea is like an art that comforts the mind, body, and soul.

Prized Heirlooms

One of my most cherished tea possessions is my great-grandmother’s silver tea service. My aunt gifted it to me, knowing I would actually use it. And I certainly have! While I’m not entirely sure if the pot is specifically designed for tea or coffee, I know my great-grandmother used it, and that’s all that matters to me.
