Another Yule Gift Idea for Tea Lovers

tea set Used with permission of "Scent by Spirit"

This SwissGold's Tea Traveler. It is sold by Scent by Spirit.
This set is comprised of 1 Swissgold filter, 3 containers, mug, spoon and a cover.
The Tea Traveler is a compact and light tea maker you can take anywhere!
The three storage containers that come with the set can be filled with your favorite Scent by Spirit teas and sugars and even with milk (fillings are not included).

Of course, the gold filter has the same properties as all other Swissgold filters to help you enjoy your tea while traveling.

On the Scent by Spirit site, if you purchase the set Rachel will add a free 1 oz. tin of either decaf or regular English breakfast tea.

A particular favorite tea of mine from her site is Enchanted Fairy Cake Tea. It is really good!

So with Yule so close and tea seems to be a favorite gift among the quick shoppers. You know theones who go to the gift basket aisle of Walmart and just starts grabbing things with tea and jam in them.
If you want to get tea for someone this holiday season, make it good tea. It will be greatly appreciated!

Brightest tea blessings!

New Anniversary Aquisition

Good shot of teapot set
I recieved as a wedding anniversary gift from a very good friend of mine. She is more a sister than a friend as she will always be.
This is advertized as a tea caddy. The basket held the pot and 2 cups fashioned in the Japanese style (no handles).
The caddy should be used as a tea holder. This one's lining is moulded to fit the pot and cups. So it shall remain the keeper of the pot!
Thi si a close up of the inside of one of the cups.

I will enjoy the use of this pot and cups the very next time I serve green tea!

Thanks, Wyllow for the gift of tea!
No greater gift can be given to a tea mistress.

Back to tea time!

OK, due to illnesses and surgeries, this site and my others suffered from neglect. I apologise to my readers, but that is how it goes sometimes.
I will soon be leaving Dixie and heading off to Pennsylvania for the Yule season. I won't be here for that week, however if something special comes up in tea land during that time, I will have my laptop and my hanheld for a quick update.

numi-40170

This is a tea I found recently. Some of the kits actually come with the pot so you can see the flower pod expand. There are 9 organic teas to chose from. The pot and the tea pods come in a bamboo wood box. There are many things to scope out on this site.
From the teas to a delightful chai concentrate you will find something to delight you palate. See Numi Teas.

20% of the profits go to rebuild a bamboo factory in China. See details on the site.

PS, if you want to see something really amazing see the Flowering Velvet Tea Chest. This mahogany tea chest is filled with different types of flowering teas.

See my good friend's Rachel's site at Scent by Spirit. She has a great glass wand that I put on my Yule gift wish list. If you have ever seen the gourd type teas called Yerba Mates and the bombillas was metal wand that strain the tea.
This is the same thing but labratory glass.

It comes in a case with room for your favorite tea.!!! My description won't do as good as her pictures are so please just go to her site. The Health Tea Wand.
I also have a link on the left for her main page. The upper link goes straight to her tea wand.

So this is a good start to re-lighting the fire of the tea site.
