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

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

It’s National Hot Tea Day and I’m drinking one of my favourites- Jasmine Pearl. It’s a go-to, an old standby, a classic, and it never disappoints. What does disappoint is the weather. It was supposed to snow but all I see is rain. #nationalhotteaday #nationalhotteamonth #teatimemagfeed #teatime #thisistea #tealover #teadrinker #jasminepearl #jasminepearlgreentea #looseleaftea #bluewillow #bluewillowchina #rain #rainrainrain #somuchrain #drinktea #teacouncil #tealoversofinstagram #cha #thé (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7PBZEJgbse/?igshid=1rje8vvszjdb7

Hello to all my new followers! I’m happy you’re here and look forward to all the cups of tea and bits of cheese you’ll share with me. This photo is from a few springs ago, when the sun was still shining. Don’t you love the pink depression glass cup and the way it catches that light? #tea #teatime #teatimemagfeed #nationalhotteamonth #hotteamonth #depressionglass #cupandsaucer #vintage #vintageteacup #pink #girlyaesthetic #cottagecore #filteredsunlight #blacktea #whitetea #greentea #tealover #teacouncil (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TTJJEgITD/?igshid=3blby66nn9ep

Golden Light by @smithteamaker - served at my Golden Oldies Tea Party. Could there have been a more perfect tea? This aptly named herbal blend of turmeric, black pepper, and sarsaparilla is a heady, healthy mix that brews up into a brilliant hue. ✨ The sarsaparilla is a little too much for me, especially on the nose, to drink it often, but it is a great tea when you need an immunity boost. ✨ Link in bio for Golden Oldies Tea Party! ✨ #tea #teatime #smithteamaker #thisistea #communitea #herbaltea #goldenlight #turmerictea #teatimemagfeed #teacouncil #teaparty #teaparties #themedteaparty #vintage #vintageteaparty #goldenoldies #goldenoldiesteaparty #teablogger (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Hbf7jgfI2/?igshid=10cknvzg1sto3

I bought this teacup last summer but have been waiting for snow before debuting it! Isn’t it just perfect for a winter cup of tea? I would love a team of sled dogs to take me through my current winter wonderland!

As January draws to a close, so does National Hot Tea Month. So I thought we could take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the tea itself; the reason for the season, as it were. This is a London Fog blend from @terristeas. , and as the rare winter sunlight hit the cornflowers, I was thankful. Do you drink loose leaf tea or teabags? Both? If not loose leaf, what’s stopping you?
