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?

Also!
The Spice and Tea Exchange is having a give away!

Good Luck!

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?
