I just had to share this sweet spoon I bought, which is designed so it fits in a loose tea container and scoops it out neatly. Plus the heart shape appealed to me. I am trying a new tea from Plum Deluxe Tea, called Creme Brulee Grey Black Tea. It is quite delicious. With my order of the heart tea spoon and tea from Plum Deluxe Tea Company they sent me a sample of Coconut a la Creme Black Tea which I look forward to trying. The new spoon makes my tea drinking more of a special ritual. Do you have any coffee or tea ritual additions?
Billy Blue Eyes commented he avoids flavored teas and I usually do. In an earlier post I featured some of my favorite black teas, all loose leaf teas and also a delicious green tea from Vahdam "Himalayan Pearls Green Tea". The package says 100 per cent Indian teas and Vahdam also has tasty black teas. I like their Assam Exotic Summer Black Tea FTGFOP1.
The only ritual I have with my coffee is I take my thyroid pill and wait 30 minutes and then guzzle my first cup of coffee when I wake up and you don't want to talk to me until I've had that cup of coffee. All those flavors sound absolutely delicious
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have any rituals, but looking at that spoon, I feel inspired. It's very handsome and so practical.
ReplyDeleteThe spoon is so pretty. I have been drinking a chai latte most days since it got so cold, but there are so many calories in it I need to switch to some of my loose leaf teas. Mandy sent me some wonderful chocolate tea from a little shop in Annapolis when she lived there. Our future daughter-in-law frequently sends me different teas from London. That always seems extra special to me.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Love your spoon, I'll venture to say it will make your tea taste even better. :)
ReplyDeleteI love hot tea. Usually I drink Irish Breakfast tea with cream (Carnation evaporated milk) which is the way my parents drank their tea after the war. Herbal tea I drink with honey... and there was a tea we used to buy at Teavana that was a white chocolate mint that we liked, but our Teavana closed shop.
ReplyDeleteCute spoon. I just use an ordinary teaspoon... Love tea, though (never drink coffee, only tea) I buy most of my teas from a favourite little tea/coffee shop in town.
ReplyDeleteI love teas and though I tried loose leaf many times, I just prefer the ease of bagged tea. I like Harney's sachets. I also found a Lipton Green tea with passion fruit which I love.
ReplyDeleteCoffee.....I use gourmet flavored coffees and a lot of creamer. A different cup every morning.
ReplyDeleteTea? Mostly iced tea here in Texas. A pitcher every day! I make it in the morning and take the last glass to put beside my bed when I go to sleep. I sip on it - just one sip - every time I get up in the night.
MY favorite hot tea is Earl Grey with lots of cream.....
LOVE love Love your 'TEA spoon!'
What a cute spoon. I wouldn't say I have any coffee or tea rituals
ReplyDeleteI too am a tea drinker. I order loose tea from Larkin Tea Company based in WV. I met them at a craft show years ago and have ordered from them ever since. One of my favorites is Larkin's Special Blend, also Otisco Breakfast Blend. I also buy bagged tea and recently rediscovered Yorkshire Gold at the Coop here. I hadn't seen it in years.
ReplyDeleteYour new tea looks very interesting. My children keep trying to get me into drinking other kinds than my Double Bergamot Earl Grey. I just prefer that and in the evenings I'll make a pot of herbal tea.
ReplyDeleteThis spoon is very nice! I never have seen such spoon! I like to drink tea in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening, in combination with some quiet thoughts - in the morning and evening reading the bible.
ReplyDeleteI don't drink coffee or tea, but I sure do like that spoon!
ReplyDeleteThey sound devine. I love the heart spoon. We use to get all our loose tea from a Tea House in Columbia. Not as much of a tea drinker as I used to be when I would get all the nice and unique flavors.
ReplyDeleteI have tea parties with my grandchildren, using my mother’s China cups. We all enjoy the parties.
ReplyDeleteIt's a little chilly today. Hmmm... I could use some warm tea.
ReplyDeleteLove the spoon, it's just awesome. I drink tea probably only 2 cups most days.
ReplyDeleteI drink instant coffee. So the only ritual I have is for people to make fun of my pedestrian tastes. Tea-wise, it's Twinings.
ReplyDeleteAwww.... what a sweet spoon. I'd love to hear how that coconut tea tastes, when you try it. I love coconut anything! :-) ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteHot tea in winter is like having a wood stove and somebody to haul in the wood.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get back into tea but early morning coffee is so easy and that's all the caffeine and half caffeine at that that I allow myself. Many of the herbals just don't do it for me. :(
ReplyDeleteI love tea but don't drink enough of it. Seeing this is going to send me to the kettle and have a cup!
ReplyDeleteNational Hot Tea Month? I think I could handle that quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteEarl Grey Hot ... just like Captain Picard likes it! Oh ... with a couple of rich tea biscuits - developed in the 17th century in Yorkshire, England.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I love your heart shaped spoon! That is really sweet. I guess I mostly just enjoy having my morning cup of tea, which is normally plain old Lipton with a spoon full of sugar. When I am having a tea party, I try different kinds of teas, but my everyday go to tea is still Lipton. I've got boxes full of all kinds of teas, but without someone to share them with, they aren't as tasty! LOL. But sometimes I do just have a tea party just for me myself and I and we have a good time. LOL. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty spoon it must be a delight to use, especially with those special flavoured teas:)
ReplyDeleteI love your new spoon, Terra, it is so lovely and cute.
ReplyDeleteI drink coffee and tea every day. I am reading your post with my hot tea beside my computer :)
Take care, Terra.
Cute tea spoon!
ReplyDeleteDear Terra, yes, I have a "tea ceremony" - every morning I step with the mug of tea in my hand on my balcony, even now in winter, shiver, and greet symbolically the city. Sounds strange, but as there are trees in front of the balcony, I am (hopefully) nor observed - and in winter, barren trees, I think I might entertain thus the few already arisen in a very early morning, maybe (!) hiding behind their windows.
ReplyDeleteThe birds are used to it and do not complain :-)
I just found your comment to Dorothy Sayers, thank you - and will add that I found something interesting out.
I never knew of such a month. I don't have any particular rituals, but I don't like tea that is too strong. The spoon is very nicely shaped.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for heart shaped too. Cutest spoon I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteDear Terra, I, too, am a tea drinker. I've been so since 1973 when I realized that Was so addicted to coffee that I was drinking--on the average--50 mugs a day. Yes, that number is correct! 50. I finished one and started another just as so many people did with cigarettes. I've been drinking tea since I weaned myself from coffee. (It took 2 years.) But I monitor the caffeine and have usually only 2 cups of caffeinated tea a day. The rest is decaf.
ReplyDeleteAs to rituals, I really don't have any, except that the first cup of tea is drunk while I do my "morning pages," which I've been doing faithfully each morning for about 25 years. The tea, the words, and the sense that all is well with my world all go together. Peace.
So cute. No. No special rituals.
ReplyDeleteNo,no,no if you drink tea it has to be real tea not flavoured tea, get some real Yorkshire tea and not decaff that is as bad as Liptons Tea
