TEA CHESTS
LOL Dorothy - now a huge chest as you describe would be hilarious next to my tea pot. Thanks for the funny this a.m.
Here's a link to the tea chests at the English Tea Store (which is located somewhere here Stateside, I think ::snort::).
I'm not sure what I'll do. This would be nice to have at Bible study and such but since most my tea isn't in foil pouches...hmmmm....
The tea chests are lovely. I have a Longaberger tea bastket that is pretty. I'm not sure if it would hold as much as you would want. It holds 20-30 bags.
ReplyDeleteThe chest would be very nice at your teas.
Ooooooh! I see!
ReplyDeleteThis is what we call tea chests:

::snort:: Dorothy - now that WOULD fit into my living room decor quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteSo do you have something like what we call a "tea chest" or do you mostly make tea from the leaves?????
LOL! No tea chests like the ones you mean that I found pics of at google. They look nice, but no room in the kitchen for another piece of equipment! I've never seen any in friend's houses either.
ReplyDeleteI usually use teabags, but they don't come individually wrapped very often. I'd just buy a box of the bags and keep the box in my cupboard along with all the other boxes. Does that make sense?
I do sometimes use leaf tea. Sometimes people still have a 'caddy' from earlier times in which to store the loose (leaf) tea. And a special spoon, but it's years since I used mine.
I'm discovering that in the US you 'do tea' differently to us here.
I love the photo you posted of the individual cup and pot. We have those here, but I don't have one. Mmmm sounds like a mother's day gift!
