the must haves: tea inspired products {part I}

With every obsession, there’s more than what just meets the eye. It’s a lifestyle. Yes,
as you may know I’m a lover for tea, all kinds of them too. It doesn’t
just stop there though. I have a great love for finding cute tea
inspired products. Recently, I have purchased or received a few as gifts
and wanted to share with you some of the great items that I think
should be known to other tea enthusiasts.

Handmade Teapot

This
is an absolutely stunning handmade teapot – and want to know the best
part? My boyfriend and I had won it for free! We attended a Larry
Carlton concert last year and they had a raffle halfway through the
show. We ended up winning “pottery” they said, so we weren’t that
enthused about it until we went up to retrieve the bag and found this
gorgeous item inside. We have yet to actually steep any tea in it. I’m
not sure if I ever want to, too. I think it’s just a perfect decorative
item and it was also retailed for $100, yikes!

Royal Family Tea Bags

I’m
sure many people have seen these before. I actually got them a while
back as a gift from my boyfriend’s mom. Just like the teapot, I have yet
to use them! I’ve been waiting to find a cute set of teacups though so I
can properly steep them in as they rest along side of the cup. Can’t
wait to finally give them a try, I think I’ll dunk Harry into some hot
water first 😉

Tea Cards

I
initially got these cards as a gift from my sister’s friend a while
back but ran out and had to go out and buy some more. They’re perfect –
great tea moment photo captured on the front, and blank inside for a
great inspiring message to go. I can”t wait to start using these more
and sending my favorite loved ones some spontaneous mail soon! Who
wouldn’t have a smile on there face if they received a surprised letter
that was inspired by tea?!
