The weather is finally cooling and I am reaching for hot beverages more often throughout the day. Years ago, Australian artist Liz Steel told me how much better loose-leaf tea is than tea bags and I absolutely agree! She also introduced me to Taylor’s of Harrowgate, which is my favorite brand.
The white bone china mug with Scotties dancing on it was a gift once chosen by our granddaughter Mikala, who knew I love Scottish Terriers. I keep it just for cocoa, an instant blend that I mix up myself.
An extra benefit I’ve found to using the Pentel Milky White brush marker: you can paint over it! After loosely placing some tiny words on the tea tin label, I went over some of the white with metallic gold watercolor.
I am a tea drinker and just having a different mug or china cup varies the flavour as does the water and even the milk!

Yes! It’s not just my imagination then. 😄 We have good well water that tastes great.
DeleteIf my husband accidentally grabs my tea mug for his coffee, I really have a problem!
Sounds like a wonderful way of being good to yourself!
ReplyDeleteJust in case you'd like to try something new - Simpson and Vail Tea has some wonderful teas! My everyday go-to is their Creamy Earl Grey. Another I've recently tried and love is the black tea - Assam - Itakhooli Estate. I've got my niece drinking that one now. Gave up coffee about 10 years ago and just love good tea. (Like you say - not the tea "dust" in a bag.) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard of that brand — I’ll have to look for it!
DeleteMy regular Earl Grey is sometimes “creamy” when I feel like adding milk. I didn’t care for Taylor’s of Harrogate Assam tea but maybe Simpson & Vail would be better? Thanks for the recommendation! ☕️
