Tea Time Favorites

A random fact about me is that I don’t like coffee. There’s been a handful of times where I try to “get into it” but for whatever reason I can’t. I do, however, love tea. Specifically, brewed hot tea and iced matcha lattes. Those are two of my favorite beverages and it’s rare that a day goes by where I don’t consume one or both. Below are some of my favorite teas and tea accessories.

1. Tea Filter Bags For Loose Tea | When I don’t use my Tea Infuser (Item #4), I use these tea filter bags to create custom blends. (My most made blend is green tea and peppermint). I appreciate the ease of use, portability, and how there’s no odd taste that I’ve gotten in the past when I used stainless steel infusers.

2. Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder | I’m selective when it comes to matcha and this one is excellent for my beloved iced matcha lattes. (I’m making a note to write a blog post sharing my iced matcha latte recipe and everything I use).

3. Stainless Steel Tea Scoop | I use this handy tea scoop to measure out loose leaf tea. I keep one at home and one at work.

4. Tea Infuser | This two-cup tea steeper makes brewing loose leaf tea(s) a breeze. It’s easy to clean and BPA-Free.

5. Tea Bag Storage Organizer | I have a couple of these flip-top organizers to store my packaged/boxed tea bags. It’s really nice to not have a cabinet full of tea boxes anymore!

6. Arbor Teas | I purchase the majority of my loose leaf teas here. All of their teas are certified organic, fair trade and have compostable packaging. Some of my most purchased are: Gyokuro Green Tea, Silver Needle White Tea, Peppermint and Dandelion Root.

7. Yeti Rambler Travel Mug | This is my go-to tea tumbler when I’m on the go. If you prefer one without a handle, this one works great as well.

I also want to add that a friend of mine gifted me a monthly tea subscription from Atlas Tea this past Christmas and I’m loving it! (Thanks again, Lis – Such a thoughtful gift!) She got me the ‘Variety’ subscription that includes two premium loose leaf teas (30+ cups of tea) and is a curation of world’s best teas and blends.

Three years ago God blessed us with this precious girl. We couldn’t have imagined just how much joy she would bring to all of us. We can’t count the amount of people who meet her & ask “Is she always smiling?” Well not always…but pretty close! She adores & admires her big sister who is great about showing her the ropes in life. If you see her, ask her how she’s doing & she’ll give you her trademark ‘thumbs up.’ We look forward to her continuing to make us smile & laugh on the daily!
