I just found out it's National Hot Tea Month! It makes sense, it's cold in most of the US, in January.
I started drinking hot tea in college, while I worked pt. time at "I Can't Believe It's Not Yogurt". It was next door to The Kaffee Klastch in College Station. It was a ghost town, during Christmas break. Since business was slow, we would visit with each others shops & "trade samples".
It was love at first sip! I ended up buying a good teakettle, cups, teapot, loose tea & tea strainer & even a tea cozy! I guess they loved our yogurt, too!
Throughout the years, I have thrown many Bridal & Baby Shower Teas & I miss them! Most of my friends are married now & children are grown & there doesn't seem to be much time...to have a quaint little Tea Party. So, I've decided to throw a Tea Party & you're invited.
So, pour your favorite tea in your best cup, sit & enjoy a spot of tea with me! No hat & gloves required!
