How to make a chai seem homemade

8 Comments / Tea / By Denise

I love all things chai. The smell alone is amazing. Some of my favorite childhood memories were going to some of my friends homes where their families made chai on the stove. I can make a decent chai from scratch but if I need a quick, easy batch my staple is Tazo Chai Organic Latte …

Harney and Sons Hot Cinnamon Sunset-don’t mind if I do

6 Comments / Tea / By Denise

There I was again wandering around World Market when I came upon a display of teas I had never seen before, Harney and Sons tea.  It gave me somewhat of a chuckle as Harney is an old family name. Maybe there could be a distant relative in the tea business? You never know. World Market …

You know me-always on an adventure for tea. Whenever I go somewhere new I always look for any local tea shops. There is nothing more exciting than finding someplace interesting to try teas. There are actual tea shops in Texas but I mostly find coffee shops. Before I go to a new coffee shop I …

About Me

I’m a Brit in Texas who loves hot tea. I’m a newlywed of 22 years and blessed with 2 daughter and 2 dogs. I love to travel, sleep in when I get the chance and take the occasional pic or 2.

I have found many of life’s problems can be solved or joy’s celebrated in the kitchen over a cup of tea and a chat. Let’s have a conversation about life with some tips, how to’s and of course tea.

Let's put the kettle on.
