Does your princess have a tea set?

Have you been thinking about buying your little princess her own tea set? My daughter has had one since her first birthday, and, yes, I did let her play with it. Each little chip tells a story and brings back wonderful memories of all of the little tea parties we used to have. Now that she's almost a teenager, she insisted that we give tea sets to my little nieces for Christmas this year. (Her memories must be as precious as mine!)

Anyway, speaking of little princess tea sets, a Steeped in Style friend forwarded us the most adorable little "tea story" and we just had to share it! Here goes ...

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge. I was maybe one and a half years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift and it was one of my favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news and my brother was playing nearby in the living room when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing! My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up, then says, 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that she can reach to get water is the toilet??'

When life gives you lemons ...

Steeped in Style gives you two options! First of all, you can squeeze a little lemon in your tea! I love a fresh lemon wedge in my Ceylon OP iced! or ...

You can buy this adorable little compact for you and all your friends! Engraved on the top of the silver compact are the words, "WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS ... STUFF THEM IN YOUR BRA!"

It comes in a sassy vintage style box proclaiming the same sentiment!

Girlfriend - drink tea and look good doing it! Enjoy! ~ Amy

Wanna be a "Tea Girl"? Here's how!

Join the tea awakening! Are you confident enough to break a few rules? Composed without ever being stuffy? Elegant, but in an offhand way? Then you can be a tea girl too!

Don't know how? Steeped in Style is here to help! We offer a wonderful variety of delicious gourmet teas. Not sure how to make loose leaf tea? We have a couple of easy options to get you started. First of all you can use an infuser tea pot - our I-pots are great! Just put the tea in the infuser basket, pour in the water, steep according to the tea directions and Wah lah! Enjoy!!! Another easy option is to use our tea filters, with an easy-fill flap and expanding base, they are as convenient as any normal teabag, but the tea is sooo much better! To use the filters, just measure your tea, spoon it into your tea filter, fold the flap down, and brew your cup (or pot) of tea! Disarmingly simple!

Try the Earl Grey Cream ~ I just had a cup myself! Yummy! An unexpected twist on a traditional favorite. Fragrant oil of bergamot is paired with a hint of vanilla for a flavor that is delicately enhanced and a finish that is intriguingly smooth!

Cool, but oh, so hot! Drink your tea iced!

According to the Tea Council of the USA, 83 percent of all tea consumed in America is iced! Try our Ceylon OP for a good old-fashioned glass of iced tea! It is perfect for those who enjoy a robust, flavorful cup and want to experience tea at its best! Smooth, delicious and refreshing!

I just did a "taste test" myself this week! I made a pitcher of iced tea with our Ceylon OP and had my husband try it. Without knowing what type of tea he was drinking - these were his exact words, "WOW! This might be the best iced tea I've ever had - what is it?" Subtle, clean, crisp flavors make our loose leaf teas an unforgettable experience - enlighten your senses, enliven your taste buds and stimulate your mind!

Hot or cold. Black, white or green. You're going to love it! ~ Amy
