Highland Tea
As has become my annual tradition after attending each Maine Highland Games, I buy some scones and tea at the games and enjoy them thoroughly the next day at home with my Tain Pottery with the Glenaldie thistle pattern. I showed GREAT restraint at the one vendor that always shows up with the mother lode…

Celtic Themed Tea
I am sure I’ve posted FAR too many “Celtic Themed” teas, but I canna help myself. After baking up some mint-chocolate cookies using my Celtic designed cookie press, I grabbed some Celtic Cottage tea from Trail Lodge Teas. Of course, I had to use my Tain Pottery Scottish teapot, teacup and saucer. Okay, so the…

Every once in awhile, a friend does something special that makes one smile. Yesterday’s mail provided one of those wonderful surprises. My great friend back in NY sent me some Russian Caravan tea and some Swedish shortbread cookies she picked up at a Scandinavian Festival she and her husband attended last weekend.

4th of July Tea & Cookies

Just a Sunday Tea in Spring
What does one do on a rainy Sunday in spring? Enjoy some tea and flowers, of course. I cut the few daffodils that were flowering in the garden and poured some Celtic Cottage tea from Trail Lodge Tea. Using my Tain Pottery teacup and teapot always reminds me of Scotland as well. We’re planning a…

Pretty In Pink Tea
It is finally April, and that called for a little bit of color. I picked up a bouquet of miniature roses at the market yesterday as well as some strawberry drizzle cookies. Then I looked for some spring-like tea ware in my collection. I grabbed a teapot I haven’t used yet. It was my late…

Tea from India
I saw on the Tozy Tea website where one of the owners gives the other owner this tea because it’s one of their favorites. Well, how can I pass up a tea that a tea owner loves, so I ordered a bag of the loose tea from them to try. Nilgiri Frost tea is from…
