Happy National Biscuit Day to all my UK followers! Digestives are one of my favourite biscuits, despite being rather plain, because they fit into any teatime perfectly. In fact, I love them so much I bought myself a digestive purse one year for Christmas. What’s your favourite biscuit? 🫖 Purse by @yoshigoods 🫖 #nationalbiscuitday #digestives #mcvitties #mcvittiesdigestive #britishfood #ukfood #teatime #teatreats #cuppatea #fancyacuppa #teaandbiscuits #vintageteacups (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPdqrpiAgSb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy International Tea Day! I was able to visit my Grandma this week on a belated Mother’s Day trip, and we had 2 tea times to celebrate! My mom and my grandma have always had a huge influence on my love for all things tea. It feels really good to be able to continue sharing that love with them. 🫖 💗🫖 #internationalteaday #teaday #teaday2021 #teatime #teatier #afternoontea #hightea #teaparty #teatimemagfeed #petitfours #teaandbiscuits #teaandscones #tealover #teablogger #tealoversofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CPIoTDJAIbt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Mother’s Day with a different kind of bouquet! This is Ubriaco Pinot Rosé- a hard Italian cheese that is soaked in wine and topped with rose petals.

Happy Derby Day! 🐎 I made these Not Derby Pie Bars from @smittenkitchen , and they’re goooood. Full of chocolate, pecans, brown sugar, and a smidgeon of bourbon, these bars are the answer to all of those weekend baking conundrums. Serve with a strong tea to cut some of that sweetness, and you’ve got a winner! Maybe next year I’ll be able to throw a teatime watch party, but for now these will do. 🏆 #derbyday #notderbypiebars #kentuckyderby #teatimetreats #sweetnothings #royalalbert #royalalbertrainbow #ranunculus #vintagestyle #vintageteatime #classystyle #southerncharm #teatimemagfeed #smittenkitchen #smittenkitchenrecipe (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/COVUD6OgkHL/?igshid=albosabpxh9l

After last week’s sunshine and warm temperatures, this week’s rain and clouds bring a welcome respite. Sitting inside with a book and a cup of tea while the rain waters my plants for me is the best part of inclement spring weather. Enjoying the season inside with cut tulips and Wedgwood jasperware. ☕️ #tea #teatime @teatimemagazine #teatimemagfeed #wedgwood #wedgwoodjasperware #sagejasperware #sagegreen #springweather #springflowers #springtea #madeinengland #vintagestyle (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CONaPBxgxa3/?igshid=1udf0xx7hslku

Happy National Tea Day to all my UK friends and followers! 🫖 I’m celebrating with English Breakfast and a little tea time plate full of goodies. With classic treats like cucumber and egg salad sandwiches, and homemade shortbread cookies with ganache, and some modern twists like peppers stuffed with chive cream cheese, this is a perfect way to spend an April afternoon. What tea and treats are you enjoying today? ☕️ #nationalteaday #brewmoredomore #tea #teatime #afternoontea #teaforone #teatimemagfeed #englishbreakfast #teasandwiches #teatreats #teatimetreats #willowpattern #vintageteapot #vintagesilver #shortbread #homemadefood (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN7W3RyAPAa/?igshid=zh7rsyf3l89t

Dune inspired tea time: chai tea latte with an extra dusting of cinnamon and cinnamon sugar cookies in various themes. This was my first read-through of Dune, and I ended up really loving it, but not for the reasons I expected. The political, religious, and environmental themes simply stole the show. The real world implications of how civilisation reacts to and builds constructs was fascinating to consider. Have you read Dune? What did you think? 🌕🪱 #teatime #myteatime #dune #frankherbert #arrakis #sandworm @hbomax @dunemovie #teaandbooks #booksandtea #chai #chailatte #spiceislife #cookies #cinnamonsugar #homemade #cookiedecorating #f52community #feedfeed #buzzfeedfood @buzzfeedfood @tchalamet @zendaya (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2WEbdASwU/?igshid=1cxcm8ui90bog

Happy National Gin & Tonic Day! I’m celebrating with one of my favourite gins- @empress1908gin !! It’s infused with butterfly pea flowers, which give it that beautiful purple hue and colour changing magic. Watch as it goes from purple to pink with added tonic and citrus juice. It’s stunning, interactive, and, of course, delicious! It’s also local to my area, which is a nice bonus. If you’re a G&T lover like me, give it a try! 💙💜 #NotAnAd #JustAFan #NationalGinAndTonicDay #NationalGAndTDay #GinAndTonic #GAndT #GinLover #GinDrinker #ButterflyPeaFlower #MagicCocktails #Mixology #EmpressGin #PurpleGin #ItsALifestyle #LiveColorfully #DrinkTheRainbow (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNcekNTAnvT/?igshid=6gh5it9dq5nb

Tea and Girl Scout Cookie pairing number 4: Samoas and Oolong! 🥥 🍫 I’ve always loved Samoas (or as I learned to call them in my scouting days- Caramel Delights). They were the most unique out of the cookie options, and just oh so satisfying. And they pair wonderfully with the delicate, creamy notes of an oolong tea. Although mine was a plain version, a coconut or milky oolong would send it over the top. What do you think; is this a combo you would try? 🍵 #girlscoutcookieseason #girlscoutcookies #tea #teatime #teapairing #teaandcookies #teatimetreats #tealover #teablogger #flatlay #carameldelites #samoacookies #oolongtea #oolong (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNVONRWgBPo/?igshid=1u9rw6vt42wla

Girl Scout Cookies and tea pairing number 3: Do-Si-Dos and Cinnamon Apple Spice! 🥜 🍎 Apples and peanut butter are just a winning combo in my book, ok? I used to eat them every day for breakfast from high school through college. It’s a classic. So of course this pairing was going to happen. Sweet and salty cookies with some extra ~umph~ from the oats balance against the lively cinnamon and sweet apple of the tea. So good I could probably finish a whole box without even realising. ☕️ #girlscoutcookieseason #girlscoutcookies #teapairings #teaandcookies #teatime #timefortea #cinnamonapple @celestialtea #cinnamonapplespice #decaftea #herbaltea #dosido #TeaLover #TeaDrinker #peanutbutterandapples (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNFwm6mAweP/?igshid=ov87259yk2fc

Girl Scout cookies and tea pairing number 2: Thin Mints and Peach Tea! This combo tastes like a summer day. Sweet, but not too sweet, and indulgent without weighing you down. If you’re already looking past spring (3 days in!) and getting anxious for summer, I highly recommend tracking down some Thin Mints and giving it a try! 🍫🌱 #girlscoutcookieseason #girlscoutcookiepairing #cookiesandtea #teaandcookies #tea #teatime #peachtea #blacktea #flavouredtea #vintageteacup #wellingtonchina #madeinengland #thinmints #individualitea @teacouncil #teatimemagfeed @teatimemagazine (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMuQshjhk78/?igshid=1xf18g9dtabb2
