MOOD: Oliver slouched on the couch in the background. Also, it’s Day 6 of #quaranTEAne: and @samantharobinsononline has challenged us to show off a tea from our most recent purchase. I swear, I do own tea from other brands, but here we are with another blend from @adagioteas . This was my first tea during one of my CommuniTEA weeks, and I liked it so much that I wanted more. #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #adagioteas #myadagio #blacktea #looseleaftea #teablog #teatuber #teacommunity

Yesterday’s #virtualparTEA gave me the idea to have a tea party with Oliver at lunchtime. I even let him eat off the “good china”. Read: the ceramic Peter Rabbit @wedgwood plate and cup from when I WAS A KID. He was so excited to finally get a taste of tea, and I’m happy to report he loves the Teaster Marshmallow tea from @adagioteas as much as I do (more about that on my YouTube channel though, and link is in the bio if you’re into that 😉). The Teaster Marshmallow tea is only available for a short time, so make sure you snag a bag before it is put back in the vault! (Gifted in exchange for review). #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #teablog #teacommunity #adagioteas #myadagio #tealeaves #teacup #vintageteacup #peterrabbit #teaparty #tealeaves #bygollyollie #eastertreats #momlife

@onemoresteep started a #virtualparTEA in her IG stories today, and of course I couldn’t resist joining. (I’m channeling my inner @teainfusiast with this post, too 😄). I’d bring Summer Rose from @adagioteas to the virtual tea party. It’s a black tea with sweet and powdery rose flavors. It’s the kind of tea that transports me to a warm day in a lush garden with blooming flowers, fuzzy bumbling bees, and the good company of friends. What tea would you serve at a tea party? #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #teablog #teacommunity #teaparty #myadagio #adagioteas #blacktea #teapot #madeinengland #thegoodchina #finebonechina #vintageteacup #teacup

I sipped Ya Shi Xiang from @wudongtea this morning. And even though I didn’t get to finish my gongfucha session, those (what feels like) fleeting moments were much needed. This tea had a lovely floral aroma that reminded me of Springtime. I am grateful that I enjoyed this one while the sun was still shining this morning. #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #gaiwan #gongfucha #gongfutea #oolong #maketeahavezen #teamoments #teablog #teacommunity

Let’s just say I’m savoring the Seven Days of Spring Box from @teathoughts 😅. On Day 3, I got to taste Sakura Tea from @yunomitea and ISN’T IS SO PRETTY?! More thoughts about this tea over at my YouTube channel though. Link in the bio if you’re into that 😉. #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #teathoughts #sakuratea #tisane #teablog #teacommunity #floralfriday

These last few days have been pretty emotionally draining, which has left me frazzled, unfocused, and unmotivated. I feel sad knowing that Oliver and I should be at a Kindermusik class this morning, but we can’t. I also notice that I’m doing that thing where even hobbies feel like a burden, and so I start avoiding them even though I know they make me happy. That includes this wonderful tea community, and dare I say it, tea in general. All I wanted yesterday was an endless mug of hazelnut coffee 😱! Today I started my morning with some planning, so I have a road map for the day, for those moments when I just feel like stopping. I also sipped some unsmoked Lapsang Souchong from @craftedleafteas because Lapsang Souchong always lifts my spirits. What are you sipping when you need some comfort these days? #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #craftedleafteas #lapsangsouchong #plannersofinstagram #plannercommunity #planner #spentleaves #blacktea #looseleaftea #maketeahavezen #gaiwan #gongfucha #gongfutea #teacommunity
