HOB — The Uncozy
“Tea cozy” — the very name conjures images of knitting, quilting, and stitching, activities traditionally associated with the female of the human species (mainly because men get to do all the fun stuff like jackhammering!). It conveys to teatime the image of frilliness that some males find a bit off-putting. Then, along comes the HOB… Continue reading

Tea Storage Thoughts
For many people tea is a drink of convenience analogous to instant coffee. You take a bag out of a box, pour on boiling water, remove the bag and go about your daily business. Tea has been marketed this way so successfully that leaf tea and tea bags are now two completely different products, one… Continue reading

Doting on Dad on Father’s Day with Tea
Fathers are pretty special people. I know mine sure was. So, a bit of dotage for dads is certainly in order on their special day. And what better way than with a special Father’s Day Tea. My dad grew up during what we now call the Great Depression. He really did walk through snow and… Continue reading

Tea Cosys (Cozies)
I am an enthusiastic, if deeply inept, practitioner of several different arts and crafts. I enjoy baking, making all my own greetings cards, and doing terrible things with papier maché. My most successful creative endeavours tend to fall within the realms of knitting and crochet. I have a lot of enthusiasm and a real talent… Continue reading

Tea Kettle Philosophy — Form vs. Function
Another pot of tea needed, which means another filling of the kettle and serving as “kettle sitter” while it boils. An opportune time to reflect on some deep and noteworthy topic. This one is a natural for tea drinkers: form vs. function. Should your teawares be primarily functional or stretch the boundaries of the unusual?… Continue reading

Is Your Teapot a Dribbler?
Teapots can sometimes be dribblers. Is yours? We’re not talking about whether your teapot is a basketball star or not. Of course, that would be quite a sight to see — a teapot dribbling a basketball down the court, weaving in and out between the legs of those giant players towering above him, and going… Continue reading

Cream Pitchers — Unsung Heroes of Tea Time
For those tea drinkers who like to mellow their strong black teas with a bit of milk or cream the cream pitcher is the unsung hero of their tea time. For those of you who like your tea straight, cream pitchers make great vases for the shorter stemmed flowers such as a nice bunch of… Continue reading

How to Steep a Great Cuppa Oolong Tea
Steeping a great cuppa oolong in our house has just gotten easier. Hubby and I purchased a new tea mug with lid and infuser basket. The basket is for us the most interesting part of the set. We made a happy discovery almost as soon as we brought it home and unpacked it. Awhile back… Continue reading

Hemisphere Teapots — Out of This World
Spode, Wedgwood, and many others are considered topnotch teawares, but they don’t compare for sheer tea time style to the Omniware Hemisphere teapot, especially when you add in the matching Demitasse Cup Set and the Cream & Sugar Set with its own color-coordinated tray. Don’t take the term “hemisphere” too literally here. The teapot is… Continue reading

Taking Tea Along in a Thermos
My husband and I recently went away for a weekend of walking, carefully timed to miss out on the current unseasonably warm weather. We had to search long and hard to find a place where it was raining in an April this lovely, but we didn’t shrink from the task. I’m fairly sure my feet… Continue reading
