I have finally decided that tea is not just a passing fancy for me, and it was time to make myself an actual tea cupboard. Unfortunately, that meant cleaning out a few cabinets.
This was the tea that rewarded me, and relaxed me, once all of my treasures had a permanent home. As always, the rose and the black base are in perfect harmony…neither over-powers the other. The 5 minute resteep was equally as good.

Cheers to a tidy cabinet!
We had to do this as well….as long as I’ve known her, my mother had a tea drawer, so when we got the new house, we had a tea drawer. Then we got into the loose leaf teas, and our tea drawer became a massive tea shelf. Soon we’ll have a tea shelf, rack, and another shelf! It feels so good to have it all tidy, though.
We gave up containing the obsession. Now it’s a cupboard and three drawers plus a bunch of jars and tins around as decoration…
Ha Ha…I love the idea of tea tin home decor. Somehow, I don’t think my hubster would like it much. He likes the counters as clear as possible, but unfortunately I fail at that…. My first tea cupboard is an upper and part of a deep lower. Man, where does it go from here!
I have the middle part of one of the kitchen cabinets, and a drawer at work :) The teas have also migrated to the bottom drawer of one of the cabinets, too, but I do not approve!! I told myself “No major tea purchases, missy, until you can fit all of your tea in the middle shelf of the cabinet!!” So, I’m going to buy THIS lovely tea this week, and that’s IT until…I fall head over heels in love with another tea ;)
Mine would all fit into my 18" upper, but I like to have space to see what I have. I need to hold off a bit on purchases, too. But tea is my reward for staying on my eating and exercise plan (and I have lost almost 30 pounds ince last Sept., and walked almost 100 miles since late Jan.) And I used to be such a couch potato!
