Tucked away on the corner of the counter sits a green set that I've had for ages. We use the sugar bowl and storage canister all the time.
Today I chose a green teapot for one and thought a green tea would be nice to go along with it. Should it be a pear green tea, a ginger peach green tea, or a plain green tea?
I chose the Stash ginger peach green tea. The aroma is lovely while it is steeping. I picked up this little teapot for one at a garage sale for $2 in the summer. Even though the colours don't show that well all of the pieces are actually the same dark green.
The tray is set with tea, some chocolate digestive biscuits and a book to read for a few minutes peace and quiet. This is another book in the Tea Shop Mystery series by Laura Childs. Just reading this series makes you want to brew a pot of tea.
So cute, Linda. It is a cup of tea type of day - sat and had my Teaopia "cleansing tea" this morning - orange scented green tea that's sure to warm anyone up.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
I really enjoy my tea for ones and I like yours. Green is my favorite color. I don't think you can beat a cup of tea and a good book. I enjoy the Tea Shop Mysteries by Childs. Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda
ReplyDeleteI like the green tea things and you chose one of my favourite teas to have.
I've read a few of the Tea Shop Mystery books and really enjoy them but haven't picked up the one you have yet.

I've always wanted one of those stacked tea pot and cup sets-so neat! I drink tea all day long.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of the Tea Shop mysteries, but haven't read any yet. Winter will hopefully give me more time to enjoy my books again.
You are like me to, after an outing I always relax with a cup of tea and good book. Your book looks interesting, you should do a book review on it....always on the look-out for a recommended book and review. Enjoy your tea my friend! Diane
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a nice tea Heather, I'll have to check it out at Teaopia the next time I'm at the mall.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear some of you have read the Tea Shop Mysteries. Perhaps over the winter I'll do some book reviews.
Ginger Peach is a favourite of mine if I make a pot of tea in the afternoon. I have read the scones and bones book. Have you tried any of the scones in the recipe section? They sound delicious. V
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeletethat looks like a comfy tea time. I love to read a book and to sipp a fresh tea. And your delicious cookies. Thank you for sharing this tea time.
Best greetings, Johanna
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI love the dark green; such a rich colour! The book looks like a good one. I am going to have to go to the library and find some. I would imagine they make for good reading with a cup of tea. Thanks for sharing with us.
Blessings,
Sandi
Linda,
ReplyDeleteNot having had a pear tea before, I'd have to go for that one, although the peach sounds great! I'm with you on the theory of a good book goes with a cup of tea. Then again, a good book goes with anything!
