My new obsession is chairs. Cozy, comfortable, padded, high-backed, deep chairs that a person can just sink into.   teagardenstudio.blogspot.com

December...

How did it get to be December already? Maybe it's time to slow down, breathe, take a moment and have a cup of tea. Perhaps share a pot with a friend nearby, or you can send them a gift of tea through the mail.

I'd be happy to offer some suggestions on blends seasonal or otherwise that you might like.

For an easy way to shop on these cold winter nights, you can order direct from my Tealightful Teas link. https://tealightfultasters.com/dawnella

Directions

Oh curse you Google Maps! Google Maps tells you to go all the way out to Route #201, and then around, and back down to Olive Street in order to get from  Lakewood Theater over to the Sugar Tree Cottage, but I do hope that folks know they can just walk from the theater parking lot across the bridge and Bob's your uncle, simple as can be, there you are!!

Please remember that the Sugar Tree Cottage is only open by appointment though, so kindly be in touch and make your reservations first.  sugartreecafe@gmail.com

Here is the guest we had at the Sugar Tree Cottage today for his own sort of "Tasting Tuesday" event.  We were sipping our tea on the porch while he was dipping his break in the brook. Sure hope he often decides to take his tea time here at the cottage!

Tea Tasting!

Stop by the Sugar Tree Cottage anytime today between 10am and 2pm and try some teas!

Earl Grey

Folks who are new to loose leaf tea sometimes wonder if there really is a difference between the grocery store tea bags and loose leaf tea. And yes, there absolutely is!  A fellow tea consultant helped to show this comparison. 

At the top of the plate you see the contents of a bagged tea purchased at the grocery store, and at the bottom beneath is the Tealightful Earl Grey loose tea.

Note how tiny the particles are from the tea bag. What you are getting in these are "fannings" or tea dust, what is left over from the full tea leaf. 

Now look at the Tealightful Earl Grey. That’s how tea should be. We know you can taste the difference, but wanted to show what really is in that tea bag

Kneading Conference Artisan Bread Fair
