Happy First Day of Spring! 🌷🌸🌼🌱 In typical PNW fashion, it’s grey and wet. But that won’t stop me from dreaming about my favourite thing about spring- flowers! I have bulbs that are just coming up, seedlings to start in anticipation of summer, and of course indoor likenesses like this puzzle. What’s your favourite part of spring? #firstdayofspring #springequinox #vernalequinox #teatime #vintageteacup #puzzlelover #floralsforspring #individualitea (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpR6EEhCYF/?igshid=13qpz4ahldnka

#teaoftheday having some @what_cha_tea Kenyan Silver Needle, one of my all time favorite teas. Though I'm sad because cat shenanigans broke a piece of teaware which ended up with me getting glassed in the finger. Not the best start to the morning. . . . #IndividualiTEA @teacouncil #tea #teatime #teaofinstagram #tealover #instatea #cha #chai #茶 #Чай #teaculture #drinktea #gongfucha #whitetea #africantea #kenyantea #teaphotography #teapot https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsi2ZbXH_ip/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xudlluw60y1o

Happy Solstice! Today we celebrate the longest night, which heralds the slow return of the sun. I like this day because it is a reminder that even in the worst times we can hope for the best. 🌙 #wintersolstice #teatime #timefortea #individualitea #teacouncil @teacouncil #teacup #cupandsaucer #midwinter #yule #yuletide #vintage #finechina #norcrest #norcrestchina #firstdayofwinter #winter #wintertime (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJEIHV7AWOa/?igshid=1b9i7myajjcgt

It’s National Hot Toddy Day!!! Made an extra-special toddy this year featuring brown butter washed bourbon! @davidlebovitz has an excellent tutorial on his blog about how to fat wash bourbon, which is what I followed in order to give my local @woodinvillewhiskeyco bourbon that little something extra. I paired the brown butter bourbon with fresh steeped sage leaves and fresh orange juice for a toddy that is rich, savoury, and chock-full of health. (That’s why you drink a toddy, right? 😉) If sage isn’t the flavour for you, this toddy would also be great with a straight black tea or even plain honeybush for the decaf folks. Cheers! 🍊🌱🥃 #nationalhottoddyday #hottoddyday #hottoddy #hottoddies #nationalhotteamonth #brownbutterbourbon #fatwash #fatwashed #cocktail #sageandcitrus #teaforhealth #individualitea @teacouncil #drinklocal #vitaminc #sagetea #cheers #teatipples (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ6EuH_ARmd/?igshid=1bmj23kvwma82

It’s Girl Scout Cookie Season! Coming in hot is this pairing for one of my favourites, the Tagalong/Peanut Butter Patty. I’ve always loved peanut butter everything, and these are no exception. They’re sweet but salty, thanks to the peanut butter, and the silky chocolate coating keeps them from feeling too dry. I’m drinking it with a smoky earl grey from @fortnums . This black tea is strong enough to stand against the cookie flavours, and the bergamot notes help lift what could otherwise be a heavy combination. Add a little creamer and you’ve got a perfectly grown-up snack; like milk and cookies meets afternoon tea. What tea would you like to drink with these? 🔴 #teatime #teaandcookies #girlscoutcookieseason #teapairing #tagalongs #milkandcookies #afternoontea #girlpower #girlscouts #internationalwomensday #peanutbutterpatties #smokyearlgrey #earlgrey #hottea #vintagelove #individualitea #teatimemagfeed (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKVvy7gd1Z/?igshid=1a9j3qs2jnkdw

I went and cut down a Christmas tree yesterday! It’s a hefty 7 feet tall, and I sawed and dragged it through mud and over moss all by myself! (Wow am I out of shape...) The good news is it fit perfectly in my car, where I had tea waiting to congratulate me on a job well done. I’m picking up a stand today and will decorate it this weekend! 🎄 #teatime #englishteashop @etsteas #teaadventcalendar #adventcalendar #festivespice #individualitea #teacouncil @teacouncil #teatimemagfeed @teatimemagazine #christmastree #freshchristmastree #realchristmastree (at Alpine Meadows Christmas Tree Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVsc1cA13R/?igshid=jfc5dmlqxm5w
