Happy New Year, friends! 🎉 My first tea of 2019 was Gianfranco's Earl Grey via Postcard Teas, a gift that I received for Christmas. Hope your new year is off to a good start! #teajournal #postcardteas

It may be chilly & overcast today but we had a beautiful & unseasonably warm day yesterday. 🙌🏼☀️ I had teatime outside so I could soak up some sunshine as we rolled back into our usual rhythms. Milk Oolong via Adagio Teas. 🌿

A few recent additions to the tea library, mostly gifted over the holidays. 📚 My people sure do know what I like! 😊🌿 Have you read any of these? What's your favorite tea book/magazine? #teajournal

Afternoon tea break with Steven Smith's Lover's Leap. A twist on traditional Earl Grey, this blend includes chamomile and rose petals in addition to black tea and bergamot. Comfortingly familiar and distinctive at the same time. Coupled the tea w a shortbread (or two). 🌿💕

Iced #matcha latte 🌿because, while it was 20° here last week, it'll be 78° today! Spring is rolling in, daffodils are blooming, and (depending on the day) it's warm enough to have the windows open. 🙌🏼 Is it a hot or iced tea sort of day where you're at? #teajournal

Giveaway 🌿🌿🌿 With early Spring storms rolling through all week, we've been combating the cold and dreariness with nonstop tea and tea lattes. Giving away a set of these beautiful glass mugs from @trinsonlife over on Instagram today ➡️ instagram.com/p/BuJV_yGg6Vu/…

Spring flowers + Blackened Heart tea via Field to Cup. 🌷🌿🖤 What tea are you starting your week with? #teajournal

“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” — Henry James, Portrait of a Lady A podcast on tea, for your Saturday consideration. Let's all have another cuppa! joyclarkson.com/home/2018/4/3/…

New blog post today! The Difference Between Bitterness and Astringency bit.ly/2G8eGt9

I'm totally captivated by the cherry tree that's currently in full bloom in our yard and reminiscing on this recipe I posted on the blog about this time last year. Ginger Matcha Latte 🌿🌸 As green and fresh as spring, with none of the overwhelming pollen. 😁 #teajournal #matcha

A recent teatime read 🌿 Slowly reading through Eighty Degrees Magazine's first issue, soaking up the information + enjoying the breathtaking photos + art included in each article. Can't wait for the next issue!

Slow day of rest at home, enjoying family time & getting organized before the busy week ahead. Threw together a pot of chai for a little cozy pick-me-up in the middle of cleaning up and feeding sweet babies. Hope you all are enjoying the last of the weekend in your own way. 💕

Over here drinking tea, tea, and more tea now that it's consistently freezing in our neck of the woods. We've been sipping on blends from Jennifer Evans with Russian Earl Grey being our go-to in the morning and Spiced Rooibos an evening fav.

Every year I see posts about #InternationalTeaDay. Did you know that the purpose of this day is NOT to celebrate our favorite beverage? It is meant to draw attention to the effect the tea trade has on workers and growers around the world.

Get your girl a Christmas present she’ll really love: - diamond earrings - Austen novels - dress with pockets - giant wheel of her favourite cheese - a small castle on a remote Scottish island with a sizeable library and shetland pony for companionship - philosopher's stone

Happy 2020! 🎉Spending this rainy day taking down Christmas decorations, getting back into our regular routine, and eating the last of the sugar cookies we made. I do love the fresh, hopeful feeling that comes with the new year. New decade. Zealong Tea
