Hey! My friend is throwing a birthday tea party (we're all in college). However, she's never thrown a tea party before. I said I'd help by making tea sandwiches. I have a few tried and true recipes for fillings, but I'm having trouble cutting the breaf so the edges don't smoshed down. Any tips?

organic white tea

I want to buy my boyfriend's mom some really tasty organic white tea as a thank-you for having me over for five days. She prefers teabags over loose leaf. And the organic aspect is a MUST!

New store design

May I ask for your opinion? I have completely redesigned my tea store. Now it looks completely different, runs much faster and, I think, more user-friendly. Can you, please, take a look and tell me what you think, if I should change something, and anything else you can think of ( Read more... )
