Tea Apparel: Sweet Tea College Southern Tee Shirt from Sweet Tea Junkie. . . .

Today’s post of the moment? Tea Apparel: Sweet Tea College Southern Tee Shirt from Sweet Tea Junkie!

A while back The Sororitea Sisters attempted to start the hashtag #TeaTeeTuesday! We encourage you to show off your Tea themed Tee-Shirts on Tuesdays on Social Media! Since we are starting to get more and more Tea Apparel in I thought I would post one today from Sweet Tea Junkies!

It’s their Sweet Tea College Southern Tee Shirt. It’s what I would refer to as colligate blue with orange lettering! Personally the blue reminds me of my high school blue and the orange reminds me of one of my favorite college teams the Syracuse Orange! But that is me just being a ‘yankee’ from the north!

The Sweet Tea Junkies school store currently offers this tea shirt in Blue+Orange and Crimson+White color combinations with more to come soon (Purple+Gold, Red+Black, Green+Orange, Garnet+Gold etc.), to accommodate each of their students from the various corners of The South. Are you wondering what the year reference is on the front? Established in 1879 is the year of the first published recipe for Sweet Tea, of course!

This Tea Tee is made and printed in the USA of 100% fine ring-spun combed cotton. It has a durable rib neckband. And is specifically form fitted for a female.

This is a great addition to any tea fan’s closet! Remember…gift giving season is in FULL SWING! Perhaps THIS should be on the list for YOU or someone YOU KNOW!

Glass Tea Holder & Crystal Glass AKA Podstakannik #VeganMoFo2016

 

Today I have a VERY SPECIAL Product Review for you that is LONG OVER DUE! It’s this beautiful Glass Tea Holder & Crystal Glass – also known as – Podstakannik and it is from Russian Tea Time. For the Vegan MoFo prompt, today is all about Food Gifts. But since we are doing all of our Vegan MoFo posts with a twist we figured we will do a Tea Gift version!

I can’t say as I have ever had any other Tea Ware like this before! I’ve cherished it ever since it came in the mail! It’s a Classic Tea Holder with Cut Crystal Glass. The etched cut crystal is very exquisite! I feel like I can drink tea like a royal and be part of the Russian Tea Tradition! Of course I had to study up on Russian Tea Traditions while enjoying this glass and glass tea holder. Yes, indeedy! This is a two-piece tea ware set, folks, and I LOVE it!

Did you know that “Podstakannik” literally means “thing under the glass”? Now THIS is my kind of history! Literal and to the point without being overly fancy!

The holder is most commonly made out of metal. The primary purpose is to be able to hold a very hot glass of tea which is usually consumed right after it is brewed. Fabulous! Because this is the way I LOVE to drink my tea more often than not!

According to Wiki – Podstakanniks appeared in Russian tea culture in the late 18th century. That’s when drinking tea became common in Russia. Soon after they became not just practical utensils, but also works of art, just like samovars that were used for boiling water. Expensive podstakanniks for the rich, well-to-do, and elite were made of silver but were not very practical since they would get quite hot very quickly due to the high thermal conductivity of silver. By the 20th century, podstakanniks became very widespread. They were found to be extremely useful on railroads, as tea was served in moving carriages that were shaking. A bare glass was more likely to fall, scalding people with hot tea. Enter these beautiful works of art and tea ware

I absolutely LOVE my Glass Tea Holder & Crystal Glass – also known as – Podstakannik and it is from Russian Tea Time. And for just $24.99 – I – for one – think it’s totally worth it! It’s durable, versatile, a historical conversation piece, and lovely to look at AND USE!

Today is our last Vegan MoFo post. We hope you enjoyed all of the fun posts. We had a blast creating them.  We will have some more fun holiday posts coming soon including the 12 days of Christmas from 52Teas and possibly even a rundown of what is in our favorite tea advent calendars!

~CuppaGeek

Not too long ago I received a lovely spoon from Blue Crabb. A Vintage Hand Stamped Silverplate Spoon – BEST TEA – Spoon from Blue Crabb’s Etsy Shop, to be exact.

il_570xn-1077882021_kanfThis A Vintage Hand Stamped Silverplate Spoon – BEST TEA – Spoon from Blue Crabb’s Etsy Shop is absolutely darling! The product description says it would make a great gift or party favor be HECK YES I’m keeping it for myself!

This is a gently used spoon that has been given a new look and Blue Crabb says it could show some signs of wear but I cannot see any! I love the vintage look. They don’t make silver spoons like this anymore – or at least at the places I have seen silverware – lately!

I’ve used this spoon to gently stir already broken apart pu-erh while still in the strainer. I’ve also used this while stirring freshly brewed iced tea. But have to admit my favor thing to do with this – is to admire it! I’m in LOVE with my A Vintage Hand Stamped Silverplate Spoon – BEST TEA – Spoon from Blue Crabb’s Etsy Shop!

Irish Tea For One Teapot from FineLine Teas #VeganMoFo2016

A few years ago I received this lovely teapot as a gift from my parents and I haven’t seen too many of them since I received it but recently I was online and saw it on a site and thought I would review it today.  It’s the Irish Tea For One Teapot from FineLine Teas.  Eventho this Irish Tea For One Teapot from FineLine Teas is not currently in stock I felt it was certainly worth a mention!

Irish Tea For One Teapot from FineLine Teas is a decorated teapot for one (or two) and has the Irish look and feel to it.  It’s painted in cream and green and has Celtic knots wrapping around the teapot.  It’s a 3-piece teapot and says “A good laugh and a cup of tea are the two best cures” on it.  You can see where the small top part comes off and the bottom half as well.

I think this Irish Tea For One Teapot from FineLine Teas is darling.  I have only used it a few times because I use it more for display than USE but that might have to change in the coming months.  I’m also using this as my Vegan Mofo post today where the prompt is “Something Rare” as we are to use something we don’t usually use in cooking – well – instead of that – I figured I would feature this teapot since I don’t usually use it but still admire it!
