You guys know how much I like tea. It’s kind of ridiculous, really. So, a couple of weeks ago I ran out of tea filters, whizzed something up on the sewing machine, and then the next thing you know….
…I’m taking pictures of my breakfast and quick-like thinking of clever descriptions for my sorely lonesome Etsy shop.
It was all very fast and unplanned, a creation of necessity and typical Virgo fussiness. Don’t mess with the tea ritual. It’s the only thing I have left some days, what with the children and all.
See it? It suspends from your cup from a chopstick. I love it. I could go on and on and on about why I love it. I could wax poetic about how my little filters and I are creating a lovely natural patina in Jasmine Green, I could sigh dreamily over the consistently perfect tea it creates. I could do these things, but I hear rumor that there are some who care little about matters as trivial as tea.
As trivial as tea? Yes, fellow tea drinkers. It’s true. We are the long and gazing shadow beneath the monument of Coffee around these parts.
But for you and for me, I stole a few moments, stitched up a bunch of these little babies, and listed them in my Etsy shop. Apparently it was just in time too because sweet Emily from the Etsy staff was just itching to write up this article in The Storque.
What? Have I heard you correctly?
Yes, friends. My humble tea bags are gracing the pages of the crafting institution known as The Storque. If you are not familiar with the land of Etsy, it’s kind of a big deal. I would liken it to being nominated for an Emmy or something. There’s one solitary set holding down the fort at the moment, but more are on the way. Stay tuned, warm your cups properly, and prepare your kettles for company.
And like any of the select few chosen to grace the red carpet, my sweet little tea bags are gussied up in dazzling new finery (which some may simply refer to as packaging). Take a peek:

congrats julie! it’s a great idea. i tried making a reuseable tea bag once, but with a drawstring that was kind of a tangled mess. this is brilliantly simple and smart!
These are great! I’m buying some on Friday! ::cheers::
