DAVIDsTEA Valentines Day Mugs

-
I love mugs and cups and am always a sucker for new and fun things!  DAVIDsTEA has some very pretty and fun teaware coming out as part of their Valentines Day collection.  I picked up 3 mugs and thought I would share them with you!

The first mug is a beautiful Valentines nordic mug.  Nordic mugs are my favorite mugs as they are a larger size to hold more tea!!  This mug features a pretty red, pink and gold heart pattern around the mug and the lid has a red and gold heart on it.  It also has the traditional silver tea infuser, however, I think a gold infuser would look better.  I will probably use one of my gold infusers in this mug.  The mug is not microwavable and should be hand-washed, no dishwasher on this one!  The box also says to not soak the mug.  The mug is so nice!!  It is $23 US.


The next mug is one that I have been trying to get my hands on for a while now ever since I saw it featured in a DAVIDsTEA PR persons Instagram page.  The mug is a perfect mug and comes with a silver infuser.  The mug feels very fragile and so I would be very careful with this one.  The lid is clear and the base of the mug features a fun mosaic pattern that gradually fades from silver to a teal blue at the bottom.  It is not dishwasher or microwave safe and should not be soaked.  I feel that the coating on this one could come off over time.  It is $23 US.


The last mug is also a metallic perfect mug.  It gradually fades from silver to pink and features another fun mosaic pattern.  It is also not dishwasher or microwave safe and also should not be soaked.  It is a perfect mug with a silver infuser and a clear lid.  This mug also feels very fragile and I fear that the metallic coating would scratch or come off over time.  I am not sure how the metallic coating is applied over the glass but I worry that it is not very durable.  It is $23 US.


Overall these mugs are beautiful and would be a fantastic gift for your Valentine or for yourself!!  The mugs will be available online at davidstea.com and in DAVIDsTEA stores on January 31st.  So, do you plan to pick anything up from the collection?

Until next time, happy sipping!!

Umi Tea Sets

I am officially writing this blog from the new tea shed.  It is a wonderful place to write, create and film and, of course, sip on some tea! Today I wanted to discuss a beautiful piece of tea ware that was kindly sent to me from Umi Tea Sets.  I have followed them for years on Instagram and am in love with all the absolutely beautiful pieces that they sell.  It is eye candy for the tea lover!   The teacup I was sent features a curved body with earthy-colored detailing painted on and a brown contrasting interior.  The cup is smooth and feels substantial.  It does get a bit hot so I would reserve this sort of cup for cooler brew teas such as green or white tea.  It has made a fantastic addition to my tea sessions as I use this to pour my tea in for tastings as it is a perfect tea tasting size.  You can check out their selection of teacups  here: In addition to the teacup I was also sent a package of their Lychee black tea to sa...

Review of Wu-Long tea from Okuma Nutritionals

I was contacted several months ago regarding a tea product that I had been actually considering purchasing so it was fate that I was to try it!  The product I am referring to is Okuma Nutritionals Wu-Long Oolong tea.  Now this is an oolong tea that supposedly burns fat by helping to increase the metabolism.  I followed the tea regime for a month (each box has a month supply, so 60 teabags).   The regime is designed so one drinks on cup of tea in the morning before breakfast and then another cup in the afternoon.  In order to keep my test of this product controlled I kept my normal diet and exercise the same. The Teabags:  The tea comes in standard tea bag form.  The tea is the standard teabag with the tea in CTC form (crush, tear, curl).  The box does not indicate what type of paper is used for the tea bag.    The dry smell:  the dry teabag smells almost like a mild black tea The steeped tea:  The tea steeps...

I love this time of year when the Spring and Summer goods start to come out.  I love the bright colors, the fun prints and the fun, fruity flavors.  DAVIDsTEA always has such fun collections and this years Spring collection, although very small, is still very cute.   Take for instance rustic mugs that the released with this collection. I like the way that they incorporated a bit of Easter into the tea ware with little bunnies hidden inside the mug. One of the teas released with the collection is Sunny Citrus.  I have heard that this tea is a re-promote but was slightly reformulated.  The official description on this tea is " With hibiscus, pretty little flower sprinkles and a twist of juicy orange, this sweet and tangy blend is like a cup of liquid sunshine." The ingredients:   Apple, hibiscus, sprinkles, currants, blackberry leaves, rosehip shells, orange peel, sunflower petals, safflower petals, mallow flower petals and natural flavourings. ...
