Pretty Tea Cups!
I recently bought this tea cup and saucer (love it!) at my favorite consignment shop. Normally, I drink tea out of a larger, dark mug and was surprised at how enticing the tea looks in this one.
Isn't it pretty? That's the jasmine white tea from Poppy & Cinders.
Lovelies from Etsy for sipping your favorite brew:
Yogi Peach Detox and the Cup Cozy of Hot Steeping Goodness
When I make a cup of tea, and set it aside to steep - this is how I roll:
You'll have to envision this on a desk with a computer....
First, I get my favorite mug, which today is filled with Yogi Peach Detox tea. It sits upon a cute felt coaster.
Next comes the upcycled tea cup cozy. I made this for the shop but liked it so much that I kept it.
'According to Lesha's Workshop, this tea should steep for 10 minutes. Pop the cozy over the cup and it'll stay hot while it steeps.
I love this tea: nice warm spices and you can usually get a second pour off of just one tea bag.

Yum!
Peach DeTox by Yogi
So, I'm a little early but here is this fortnight's featured tea we're "circulating." Please post, if you can, when you try it....I'm excited to read your responses!
Peach DeTox is made by Yogi Teas. Their website is really quite beautiful and gives you all the info you need from ingredients to nutritional info to brewing instructions. I highly suggest using 10 minutes brew time, especially at high altitudes. If you need your tea scalding, use two bags as suggested by Yogi.
I first discovered this tea through a friend (okay, ex-boyfriend) when they gave me some of the Yogi Detox (just Detox). Imagine my surprise to taste.....pepper! But it isn't what you think, even after reading the ingredients in Peach DeTox. I can't speak for the detoxification itself, as I eat horribly, but I 'd like to think I feel better after a week's worth.
Another great quality to this tea is its availability. I purchased my latest batch at Winn Dixie of all places - and not over in the organic and health food section, but over by powdered Gatorade, which I also like, diluted. I, however, like Yogi Peach DeTox concentrated. I like having a chance to experience all of its ingredients in turn. I like being able to play a delicious guessing game of unusual and familiar, full bodied but not with an overwhelming herbal (eg. mints) or black tea that brews faster than its compliments.
I give this tea 4 CUPS out of 5.
Yogi Peach Detox is like a wine - it changes throughout the experience of one sip. Enjoy several on me. xxoo
