tea & jelly

i've recently developed a huge crush on tea time. i have been buying tea like mad, sampling the many, many different aromatic effects. i have always loved, mint, peppermint, jasmine, chamomile, matte leao (brazilian), and thai tea. as much as i love them i feel that it is time to branch out.

not long ago i was going through my heart list on etsy and i stopped by tea noir and purchased a wonderful blended tea, rio getaway, it is a richly complex tea, that will give all tea lovers something to smile about. it is extremely smooth and delicious. the color is gorgeous too. it has hints of citrus, mint and hibiscus. it is truly divine. she has several other handmade teas available in her shop. make a mental note to swing by there sometime.

another tea that i recently fell in love with, my mom's favorite, is a green tea blend by good earth. you can buy it at any health food store like, wholefoods, AJs, etc. it has a hint of lemongrass, which i love. it is such a wonderful and light tea. i heart it big time.

and finally what is the point of tea without scones? and what is the point of scones without yummy jelly? there isn't, this is why i also bought some organic pomegranate jelly from anflorence. i bought it yesterday, i can't wait for it to arrive in the mail! her shop is full of homemade jellies and other wonderful products. check her shop out today.
