I'll drink my Lemon Ginger tea in this pretty tea cup from my mother-in-law's good china, which is 'Regent' by Heinrich H and C.
Old Country Roses, note my OCR teapot which is different from the one usually seen
Silver spoons,
and Pumpkin Chai from David's Tea. It's a spiced black tea with cinnamon, pumpkin pieces, cardamon, cloves, and caramel and pumpkin candy. Sounds perfect for autumn...I like it all year long!
Two little birdies are joining me for tea. Do you think they are eying the cookies?

I like iced tea too. My favorite is Lipton's Orange Spice tea.
This is Harney and Sons Yin Hao Jasmine. What a healthy and delicate blend of jasmine flowers and Pouchong tea.
I'm using my tea tray, faux roses, and 'Filigree' by Pfaltzgraff.

Beth, your teapots are so beautiful and there are so many of them that I can't pick a favorite! I do love the Old Country Roses, and would love to have a few pieces since I don't have any as yet. Enjoyed your tea party, thanks for having me.
Hugs,
Sylvia
Beth, your tea choices are wonderful! And the teacups aren't bad either....:) Like, wonderful! The David's Pumpkin Chai looks like one I'll have to try and find. I've had the others, but that one looks really inviting. Isn't the world of tea like a funnel? Looks small and narrow from one end, but opens out to include the world and it's myriad choices! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Thank you for sharing your favorite teas and your pretty teacups and teapots, Beth. I love to try different teas, too, depending on the season.
I have become a tea o holic the last few years. Hot or iced, nothing added just straight tea. My favorite is a white tea with orange flavor. Could drink 5 or 6 cups a day! Have a great week Carol
Oh so many beautiful teacups here Beth! All of them are gorgeous. I have to confess, my all time favorite tea these days is English Breakfast tea (decaf). it is only decaf tea I have found that is strong enough for me.
I have several of those last tea cups you showed. No saucers just the tea cups and I use them on my Tea Cup and rose tree....
Hugs,
Debbie
Hello Beth
Did you ask David's for extra pumpkins in your chai? I looked at your photo and my tea doesn't have that many. :-) I like the selection of teacups you've shared this week and I have to say the Yin Hao you gave me for Christmas is the absolute best jasmine tea I've ever had.
Hugs,

OH I enjoyed scrolling down today. HOw interesting!! I think my favorite tea is Vanilla Chai with a shot of eggnog right now. I went and bought one more carton of eggnog this past weekend and am going to freeze it in smaller containers, since it is seasonal. Just love that little bit of flavor in the tea. And I think I would love to try the Pumpkin Chai. Where do you get your teas, Beth??? I do love the Roses tea cup best - SO pretty. And Gracie JUST makes that photo. But I missed seeing a pic of Josie. Hugs to you. STAY WARM!!!!! xo
those little lips are just too precious!! ( :
Hello Beth,
What wonderful teacups! I really like the Blue Garland and of course the OCR. I like the unmarked one too. I love your OCR teapot too. It really is pretty!
You know our David's Tea here doesn't carry Pumpkin Chai and I wish they did because I would love to try it. I have several favourite teas but I always seem to go back to Twinings Chai. At Christmas time, I love Stash Holiday Chai. I enjoy the spicy ones more it seems and I always drink my tea black.
Thank you, my friend, for joining me for my special tea party today. Your presence always makes it that much more special. Have a lovely week, Beth.
Blessings,
Sandi
Beth, delightful post filled with reviews of tea that I will now have to try!!! I'll make a list as my tea shelf is at overflowing after the holidays! Beautiful teacups. Happy Tea Day!
You have some really sweet teacups and your teapots are beautiful. I also enjoy a variety of herbal teas and one I get from David's Tea is Long Life Oolong, my favourite in the morning. I just wish David's Tea wasn't 2 hours away! Happy tea day. Pamela
Beth what a wonderful post highlighting some fabulous teas served in breathe taking teacups. I'm often temped by the various teas available. But in my plan/goal for 2013 I'm going to stick with no more than a couple at a time (meaning - no buying a new flavour until the ones I have are finished). Currently I'm working on finishing up some teas from Laduree.
Wishing you a wonderful day ..xo C. (HHL)
Hi Beth! We love ALL of your favorites -- teas, teacups AND sweet Gracie, too. :)
Hi Beth! Oh, what beautiful teacups! I love tea too! Thanks for popping in to see me.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love your Old Country Roses teacup. My favorite tea is mix of chamomile and mint.

You have so many beautiful tea-cups and I love the way you display your spoons. I think I would like most of those teas you tried. I'm enjoying many new ones given as gifts at Christmas. Nothing better on a very cold, wintry day. "Hi Gracie". Deb
I'm new to Blogger and so happy to find other tea lovers. Still not sure how 'links' work here, or much of anything else for that matter. lol
Hoping the 'Teatime Tuesdays' are something that happens regularly.
BTW, I love your little blue teapot! And found a couple of teas here I have never tried. Looking forward to finding them. :)
Hello Beth,
such a variety of nice teas and pretty tea cups! How nice you hav a OCR tablecloth and a different tea pot. That makes all a sweet set. All your cups are pretty and the teas sound yummy. I had never one of them but can imagine their taste. Thank you for sharing this tea delight and for your visit and the sweet comment.
Best greetings, Johanna
Very pretty tea sets. You know I rarely drink it anymore but am thinking about cutting my coffee and going to tea again. I think what I use to like was the orange spice. As I recall I didn't need to add any sugar to that one.

I love flavored teas more as iced teas...but I had not seen these special Bigelows that I will have to check out
You have such a beautiful selection of teas, Beth, as well as pretty tea things to use!

Dear Beth,
Love your collection a beautiful teacups. I have the same Old Country Rose teapot! Love it! You have a wonderful selection of teas today! The pumpkin and chocolate tea sounds delicious.

hugs,
Lisa

Lovely... I'm enjoying Honey Vanilla Camomile lately...
Oh my, so many beautiful teacups and lovely teas to try! (My Granddaughter would love the tea with the cute "lips"!). When my daughter was a teenager I bought her the set of blue garland Havilan dishes with teapot and assessories. It was back when grocery stores had the pieces for sale real reasonable with grocery purchases. I don't see the pattern very often, so glad I saw your teacup! Happy tea day to you!

I loved seeing your pretty teacups and your favorite teas Beth. Those birdies look like they might start nibbling at your cookies!
Hello Beth,
Thanks so much for sharing new teas with us! They look delicious! I appreciate your tea images....tea is so pretty, it should be photographed! lol!
All your tea cups area gorgeous, and that tea pot is lovely. I have it too! The exact same one! I love the weight and feel of it.
Hugs,
Terri

Hi Beth,
I just had to stop by and tell you that I went in to David's Tea today and they had Pumpkin Chai! I was so excited! Needless to say, I brought some home with me and I cannot wait to try it! Yay!!
Blessings,
Sandi
Hi Beth,
I will have to look for the lemon ginger tea and the pumpkin chai as well.
Love your OCR teacup and teapot.
Carolyn
It would be so nice to live closer to you so we could share a cuppa tea & compare notes. I thought I had a wide variety but you've got me beat!
Your cups & teapots are beautiful...what nice treasures.
I need to go find some of that Vanilla Comoro, as I find I'd love a hot cup of tea in the evening but they keep me awake. Even some of the ones labeled "decaf".
Stay inside where its warm & dream of spring flowers,
Hugs,
Rett
Pretty tea time spread!
Hope you will stop by and enter my handmade Tea Time giveaway! If you like pink.......

Beth,
Thanks so much for your visit and kind words!!
To answer your question, I will mostlikely convert the Tree in the Den over to a St. Patrick's Day Tree after i take down all of the Winter Decorations in the Den. I will do Easter everywhere else after the end o Feb. I don't hurry taking everything that is Valentine's Day down as Feb. is Heart month....
Hope you are having a great weekend...
Hugs,
Debbie
