New Years Tea Haul! :D

What says New Years like a good tea haul?


I got some Tea at Teavana! Most of the tea was onsale too! :D

I even got a tin and a 'perfect tea spoon!' That way when I move out, I have my own tea stuff too :).

 Sakura Allure is my fav. It tastes and smells sooo good! Moroccan Mint, I got for Dave because he wanted to try gun powder tea! haha.  Peach Momotaro is for my Mom. She loves it.

What have you been brewing?

The Spice and Tea Exchange is having a give away!

Tea Swag Review: The Ingenuitea and Teavana Perfect TeaMaker

So, I wanted to start reviewing the stuff I (And my Mom) have.

I thought first I'll review these, together, since they are a lot alike, I think. We have The Ingenuitea by Adagio Teas ( Which I have no teas by them! I must buy some soon! And recommendations?) and Teavana's Perfectea Maker thingy. Mom's is the Ingenuitea. I have an older model of the Perfeatea. I got it at GoodWill for 3 bucks. If you're not as lucky as me, it'll set you back about 20 bucks. And I think it's worth every penny.

The Two Brewers

The only difference I think between the two, it the Ingenuitea mesh comes out. You can either see it as a good thing, or a bad thing. I hate it. It also tea stains.  But I like how all of it is see through, and the handle is pretty cool, with the grip and all.

(Today's tea!)

What I like to do, is fill up the cup you are going to use with boiling water, (or regular, and you can just microwave the water to get it hot) add the tea to brewer, and then add the cup of water to the brewer, that was you have the right amount of tea :).

Here's some random pics while I was waiting for the tea to brew! :D

             If that's not sexy, Iunno what is.    

All set! 

When you are done, you're tea leaves is right there. You can either steep again, or just throw it about. :).

I would buy one of these. They are so worth it. :)

What do you steep in?

Weekly Tea!

Hey Guys!
Weekly tea! :D

Last Week:

Wednesday: (7-14)
Frutto Blanco Pearls mixed with Precious White Peach. Also, a little nick nack my Mom got me :). It was a good tea. I put a little agave in it.

Friday: 

Twinings Earl Grey. I bought it for the BF. And it still was just 'ok.' tea. So, I took it back. Lol.  D:. It's good tea for bagged stuff! I think. 

This week.

Thursday:

Earl Grey Late from Starbucjs. Also got a Jimmy John's Vito for a dolla! (Dolla's make me Holla~! (Sweet Jesus, Honey Boo Boo)). It was good. I love Starbucks's tea. Tazo <3 br="br" nbsp="nbsp">

Friday:

I got something quick at Meijers before we went off to Ohio. :). It's ok. I'ts got High Fructose Corn Syrup. So, Snapple really isn't 'made from the best stuff on Earth'. Just Sayin'. 

Sunday:
Coming home.  This stuff is seriously the best. I love love love Peace tea. Peace tea and Sweet Leaf. Screw the rest of the pre-made crap.

Monday: 

Mint-Chilla Chai-Nilla from The Spice and Tea Exchange. :). Good stuff. I love The Spice and Tea Exchange stuff. I just wish one was closer! I should have *should have* made this a late. But, it was good with just some cinnamon agave. 

Tuesday:

 Mom and I made some Lemon Ginger with Cold Brew tea. I put some honey in it. And it's really good. It's settling my tummy too, with a caffeine bonus.

Weekly Tea 7/24-7/31

Howdy guys!

This week in tea we have:

Wednesday:
Birthday tea, even though it was no ones B-day. Dave said it was 'Good tea, but no great tea' -snarl- All the tea I make is GREAT TEA! lol!  

 Thursday 
I am in love with this tea. I love the TeaHaus. This tea, I'm sure, it was heaven smells like. Ugh! My Mom bought it for me as a treat. :). No idea what I am going to do when it's gone!

 Friday
Lazy ass day. Added some frozen peaches.  Good stuff :)

 Sunday
Awesome stuff. I added some organic oolong as some filler, because I was making some for my cousin Kiwi and I. We also went shooting, and I wanted something light to come home too. Also, on the left corner we have Poe. She is possibly the smallest kitten I have ever seen, and also the friendliest. Kiwi found her on the 4th, meowing her lungs off. Kiwi picked her up, and the rest is history. She is an awesome cat. :).

 Monday
Mom  found me this book. I am currently reading it. It's pretty rad.
We also made Hibiscus tea, with some herbal stuff for flavor. Hibiscus is good for your tummy, so Mom drinks a lot of it, and it helps her. :). We made it into ice tea. It's perfect for hot, tummy ache days; which are very very common in our house. (We all have tummy issues!!)

 Tuesday (Today!)
Oh God! This tea!! It tastes like...Raspberry pie. I added some Agave, and and some Bach's Rescue Remedy. Not a single fuck is given! lol. Did you know you can use Rescue Remedy on your pets? My Febe always freaks out at loud noises, and this is perfect. I seriously might make myself another cup!!

That's all. I also got a post for you tomorrow! :D
Drink on, Lovelies! 

Tea's of the week!

I think I am going to do try and do this every week.

Follow me on Instagram here. I am posting the tea I drink, almost ever day.

I drink a lot of tea.

I would love for people to ask me, or send me tea to try!

I would also like to shout out the Tea app on the app store: here! It's seriously the best app ever to keep track of your tea!! I use it all the time! 2.0 is coming out soon, and I cannot wait!! My life is on my phone!

OK: So this week in tea:

Thursday: 
Basil's brew from Emilie Autumn! Nice light taste. A little expensive for my taste, but it's all organic, and Emilie formulated it her self. Plus, you can buy it at one of her concerts. Who can you do that with?

 Friday:
Feeling lazy. Sweet Leaf is all organic black tea. It also comes in sweet, but I like the lemon best. Best when drank out of Mason Jars, so check out Cuppow.

Saturday:
Party hardy? I know this really isn't a tea, but it's what I was sipin' on!

Monday: I didn't feel like tea. It happens.

Tuesday:
  Coconut Oolong with Coconut Sugar from the Spice and Tea Exchange. Pretty good tea. Nice taste. I love coconut (because I'm nuts!). I seriously wanted those almond cookies you get from Chinese buffets. They would have taste good. I also got this Mug for my 19th B-day by my little bro (He saved up his money! It was sooo cute!). It's a chalkboard! So I drew a palm tree :).

So, that's this week in tea!

BritTea!

Yeah, that's me. My friend Colonel is up from Georgia. You should check it YouTube Channel out! He is going to be famous one day, I tell you! We came up with the idea after I was drinking tea, and was like 'I'm the Julia Child's of Tea!'. Yeah, there is some vulgar language in the vid, we wanted that way. And Yes, this is based on a true story. I want my Cold Brew Tea Twinings! And I do kinda get angry about it. lmao. Just not this angry. It was a lot of fun to do, and we did it all in one day! :)


Speaking of tea: Check this out:

That's like a huge difference. I am working on a post for you guys :) I am doing an intro to loose leaf, and the difference. I'll have you drinking loose leaf in no time! Just thought I'd give you a preview!

I hope you are having fun, Lovelies! With Colonel here, I sure am. This is the most I've gone out of the house in a long time! lol. :).

See you tomorrow!
