This one to be specific:  And now I get the joy of coveting this one! My mom and I are going to actually start browsing antique stores to see if they have any awesome tea sets fairly cheap too. It's going to be our new obsession. xd

Oh, that's a lovely tea set. I was considering that one myself, but my cheapskateness won out in the end.

Those are really cute. What kind of fancy tea does a person drink with these?

@Kitty: It took me two and a half years to save up for it. sweatdrop
Mostly because I'm also super cheap. xd
@Toon: You can put any of the loose leaf tea they sell in it. You can also do bagged tea too. Bigelow Vanilla Caramel is my favorite.

Chuck it all in, or do you use those mesh things I saw in a Teavana I got reeled into? They're like.... tea gypsies? It was a weird time.
It would be so cool to make a whole teapot of Celestial Seasons candycane green tea and drink it with fancy teacups..... or one fancy teacup. I have minty tea problems.

I bought one of the cool touch tea strainer since I have one for my mom's tea set (gotta have my own, ya know?). It's quite awesome because it keeps almost all of it in tea pot. You're obviously going to have the super small pieces come out.

Mesh tea strainers are generally better than the pinhole ones. Even though they are so pretty.
I've been wanting to start trying out some of the fandom teas on Adagio, but I'm afraid of buying teas I can't smell.

Are there no sampler options?
Or catch the eye of The Republic of Tea and they'll send you a sample of the "tea of the month" like clockwork hoping to catch a tea club membership.
Heh heh heh. *drinks delicious ginger peach sample*

Oh man I did not know that. Have you ever tried dropping by a Gordman's or Tuesday Mornings for teas and coffees? Always plenty of small gig gourmet brands for $3-5 a pop that are usually pretty good.

How dare Ohio deprive it's people of glorious steep discounts.
Does Kohl's still do the isle of random gourmet coffees and teas? I vaguely remember seeing that stuff around the decorative bottles of pickled things and oven mitts but maybe I've got a different store in my head.

I try to stay away from that section of the store.
The last time I was in that area, I ended up buying an unnecessary blender. But it was on sale! eek
We do have Whole Foods and several World Markets. 3nodding
And tons of Mom and Pop Froyo places.

No spare blender is unnecessary unless you own a God-tier blender like a Vitamix or whatever blender "Will it Blend?" promotes. It's sad going to a party making blended drinks and they're working with one blender. Or one day your blender dies and you really want a milkshake.
I know that feel though, it's hard to resist a sale. Hope you find a bunch of cool teas at those stores. By strange coincidence I'm finding myself at a Kohl's..... may I not end up buying a million candy bars.
