The Wiki of Tea and Biscuits!


The mystery solved of which biscuit to serve with your nice cuppa…
Here is a book every Britt-o-phile should knows by heart. There are so many biscuits, which really are a tame term for cookies! I like so-called “Digestive biscuit” by McVitties. Makes you feel great about eating a cookie. British biscuits are not as […]

Thanksgiving… I’ll bring A Nice Cuppa!


Some of us simply need to take a nice Thanksgiving hostess gift, to sip along with those homebaked pies that someone else may be baking. Even if you are going to Rachael Ray’s, Rachael might not bake the pies, but even she would love a beautiful deluxe sampler, and all you have to do is sit […]

Green tea, in a “green” childrens’ toy tea set,
made of 100% recycled plastic!

Button Up, It’s Tea Time!


Who doesn’t  like a  lollipop sweet button or an elegant crisp white shirt?  I am devoted to the feral wilderness ritual of traditional loose leaf tea making, where tea leaves swirl as do autumn leaves, yet tea bags certainly have their solace and proper place in tea making, especially at the office where your co-workers look at […]

Adjustable Cozies for any Cuppa!


Halloween Costumes for your Nice Cuppa?

The world of take-out cuppa’s according to Jenna, the designer of these very cute and terribly functional adjustable hand protectors
“The Cozy Corset Cuff was a result of an ‘I can do better than that’ moment. Sure, the cardboard sleeves provided by coffee shops protect our hands from the heat of […]

These are a Few of My Favorite Tea Thingys…


I have had my eye on these clever patent pending “Free Leaf” tea garden to go cuppa’s by Teance mail order. They embody the presence of a fresh tea bouquet and once infused, exude and extract all the mystical properties and subtle flavor of green tea leaves which are easily subdued and squashed by most […]

Classical Comfort Your Bank Will Not Notice…


Now on another day of dreaming moments, of which I have far too many, I dream about a simple gift I can give without breaking the bank with a small parcel of tea. Making tea in a classic pot is a tradition there is no reason to part with. I am fond of this classic glass […]

A Nice Cuppa…Literally!


How completely fantastic are these cups??

The stainless steel cup has a polished mirror finish. The porcelain saucer is printed with distorted images or words. These graphics can only be viewed correctly though the curved, reflective surface of the cup. The image is indecipherable when the cup and saucer are separate. ~from anamorphicseries.com
I love, love, love […]
