You're quite welcome

I'll have to look at theirs because I already know what the other ones look like
I suppose if I like their tea and place and order, I'll see what the difference is.

I just looked at their filters and it looks like they only come in one size.
Much more expensive than the ones I get from T & H

I like Earl Grey in a nice pottery mug with milk and honey. Good Earth tea, as Freckle-K posted, is naturally sweet and spicy. Brewed really strong, it's great in the morning, and nice over ice, too. We recently bought Bigelow black tea with berry and used it to make sun tea--it was really fruity and mellow. Drinking hot tea from small glasses with sugar cubes reminds me of my grandmother. After dinner, tea in a fancy porcelain cup with a floating lemon slice reminds me of my (beloved) former in-laws.

I'm a big fan of medicinal teas. When I was pregnant, I found nausea relief from raspberry leaf tea and ginger tea. I give my daughter valerian tea when she is restless. Most recently, I gave the cat peppermint tea, a few drops at a time, when he was sick to his kitty stomach. It was amazing how quickly he responded.

I'm not a tea expert, but I do love it. Tea is something to savor, not rush through. Thank you for sharing all the information and the links!

Ah a friend sent me a sampling of the Wedding Blend and it has been a big hit. Thanks for posting the site information!

Sunday night tea treat - Teavana Mate Vana. It has a lovely creamy undertone and hints of nutty, chocolatey goodness. A nice medium black tea flavor.

And I have to make a confession. I treated myself this weekend to a mini-shopping spree. After months of being crazy-frugal and not buying much of anything that was an extravagance, I celebrated my new raise and promotion with a trip to the brand new Teavana store at Park Plaza Mall.

I generally despise malls but the pilgrimage was worth it.
I ended up leaving with 9 bags of tea, 4 tea tins, a tea spoon, a 'perfect' one-cup teapot, and a biggo bag of german rock sugar.

If you have never been to a Teavana store, I recommend checking it out. They have about 50 different teas available at the store (maybe more?) and lots of free samples, teapots, etc.

I'm so jealous! Sounds like you had an amazing time. I'm glad you treated yourself. You so deserve this.

I'm smiling while reading this.....thinking, next trip, I won't bring any tea at all. I may even find a Teavana tea or 3 I like and have yet another tea merchant I like.

Does this mean I helped turn you into an even bigger tea addict than you were before I brought my tea your way?

Well, our monthly Femme Tea, this month, was to celebrate my upcoming ( tomorrow) Birthday We went to on of my favorite places, Radiance Tea House which has some incredible Tea sets, Tea, and.. many many Books ! Also wonderful Hosts, who never fail to make one feel an honored guest I felt very warmed by the support of my Femme friends.. I had a Yellow Tea, something pretty new to me.. ! and something I mean to repeat ! Oh and one of the gifts ( I had said no gifts but.. ) was a GC to a lovely new place in NYC, I gather they started in Chicago, so others may know them.. but they are new to me.. Argo Tea shop and cafe . I had some lovely Tea, sandwich ( a tiny one ! ) and purchased some loose Tea that I had never had, called Carolina Honey Black Tea with the flavor of Honey & lemon
Have I ever mentioned how much I love Tea And Femme friends ; )

Oh and I did ask about contributing a Tea Basket.. One of our members, is going to the Reunion, and said she would be happy to help. Anybody else want to put that together? I can hook you up ( I can't attend or I would do it myself.. )

Happy Birthday, Merrick, and I am sorry I did not make it to the June Birthday Tea! I love Radiance! I will see you tonight at Queer Knitting NYC, and I would contribute something to a Tea Basket! Who is going to the reunion?

Elle*, who HAD to order more of the Green Chai from Adagio, because it has become an afternoon addiction!
