Shameless plug for my friend‘s business - she makes AMAZING teas (Rainy Day is my favorite), plus she has herbs and sages. Today only she‘s got a great sale going on. You should try it! www.thesouthernkitchenwitchery.com

I received my first tea swap today, and I‘m looking forward to trying it. My cards all ready to put in the mail tomorrow. Additionally, all the posts with beautiful teacups and teapots prompted me to get mine out as well. This is the teapot and one of the cups from my grandmother‘s childhood set.

I finally got my new tea cups! The bottom right was a "shitty mystery" where they send you a random tea cup and a roll of toilet paper ?. #teatime

BethM So great. 4y
Jas16 Love these so much! Where did you get them? 4y

NBR - for you lovely Littens I‘ve been proselytizing to, I just saw that my friend at The Southern Kitchen Witchery has bath salts samples she‘s including with some orders this month! (I believe it‘s based on availability) So if you‘re in the market for some small-business, small-batch hand-blended teas, please check her out! https://www.thesouthernkitchenwitchery.com/

Chrissyreadit Thanks!!! I ordered a nice bunch of items yesterday so maybe I will get a sample. 4y
ravenlee Thanks, @Chrissyreadit ! I hope you enjoy everything. 4y

MeganAnn Thanks for sharing! I just ordered testers of several teas so I can try them all! I‘ve been drinking a lot more tea lately and am on the lookout for new ones to love. 4y
ravenlee @MeganAnn I hope you find something you love. I sent my sister-in-law a variety when she was recovering from COVID and she liked the anise/mint/ginger types. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Ooooo I really want to try the tea you sent me today while it's gloomy and rainy - I will check this out!!! 4y
Clare-Dragonfly Ooh, this may be the push I need to give it a try! Thanks for sharing! 😄 4y

I did not know until the other day that the tea plant is genus camellia, the same genus as the flower, until I read some of the signage at Leu Gardens in Orlando. I know I‘m not the only Litten who enjoys tea while reading, so I thought I‘d share that tidbit. However, the flowering camellias are so much prettier, so I‘m sharing a picture of one of those. We can‘t grow them here, unfortunately.
