Teatime


I've recently been on a hunt for fabulous tea cups. I'm particularly drawn to the beautiful blue hues that these darling cups offer. There's nothing that makes me feel more sophisticated and civilized than sipping a glorious hot cup of tea that warms the soul. My absolute favorite teas are English Breakfast and Early Grey (Twinings has an excellent selection and so does Trader Joe's). Crumpet anyone?

Etsy Vintage Turquoise & Brown Leaves Set of 2 $12

Sweet Dreams Cup & Saucer $20

  3. Mikasa or the Sweet Dreams...if you are serving coffee I can't really see any men drinking out of the Sweet Dreams. So Mikasa is the pick!

  4. I love the sweet dreams cup! Sooo cute! I want to start drinking tea more too. I love the feeling and it's so much more fun than boring coffee sometimes. I also want to start drinking iced tea with NO sugar. Good luck finding more cups! :-) Try etsy.com!

  12. new follower here;0. I LOVE me some tea! My favorite is Coffee Bean and Tea LEaf's Genmachai tea but, they don't have them out here in NC so I have to order it online...which I seldom do because it is expensive but, I love the smell, the taste, the feeling. Yup, love it! Those cups are DARLING!!
