Favorite Things: Bee House Tea Stuff!

December 30, 2008 in I Freakin' Love This Thing! • I Freakin' Love this Household & Every day Stuff!

Happy New Year, everybody!!

This time of year, I really like tea. Like, a lot. I like to make drinking it special, with pretty teacups, loose tea and my favorite personal-size tea pot. I really, really love this tea pot:

It’s made by Bee House, and I got it from a place online called the Tea Table. I bought it well over a year ago (maybe even two years ago!) and I still haven’t forgotten the excellent customer service I received from Lori, the owner. I’d order from her again in a heartbeat, and I really loved the tea samples I got there, too. I’m still opening and enjoying new packets. I have a LOT of tea (Y used to work for Cost Plus’ corporate office, and we got a great discount and a lot of samples), so I haven’t had a need to go back…but I digress.

Back to the tea pot.

There are a lot of imitations of Bee House design now. I find myself feeling pretty protective of the real Bee House, especially considering the imitations aren’t as good of quality and they’re the same price. Buy Bee House, people. They come in all different sizes, and I want a bigger one so I can have my girlfriends over for tea. Not that I ever do that, but if I had the tea pot, I totally would. Right? ;)

When I bought my tea pot, I also bought this adorable cup (it says “tea” on the side!):

I didn’t just run across Bee House in a store. A few years ago, Y and I took a cross-country roadtrip, and we stayed at an awesome bed and breakfast in New Hampshire called the Silver Fountain Inn. It was the best B&B either of us had ever stayed in, and the owner had Bee House teapots for each room. I fell in love and googled “Bee House” as soon as we got back to California.

In other news, I’m looking for a fancy tea pot to match our wedding china. Anybody seen anything to match this:

?? It’s Kate Spade’s Gwinnett Lane in Creme.

Who else loves tea?

Love those products. The teapot is so adorable! Thanks for sharing.

Posted by Marianne on 2010-07-04 20:57:08 I love tea! My parents do too and are always throwing containers of loose tea at me whenever I visit them, so I’m always well-stocked. I drink it throughout the day, with progressively less caffeinated teas. I’m always glad to see other tea-lovers out there!!
Posted by firstlady on 2010-07-04 20:56:41 I love tea too! I work at Peet’s, so I drink all the coffee & tea I want… but that’s not a good thing! Thanks for the recommendation on Tea Table. I’ll have to check it out.
Posted by Kelly Nicole on 2010-07-04 20:56:16 I didnt realize you were as much of a tea lover as I am! I love TEA so much. I have to have it everyday even if its 100 degrees out. Have you been to Tevana? Thats where I buy all my loose tea.
Posted by Sarah with an H on 2010-07-04 20:55:51 I’m definitely a tea-lover. In fact, your post has inspired me to finish up browsing my google reader and go grab me a cup of tea. I’ve lately been obsessed with Peet’s rare tea Jasmine Downey Pearls. mmmm. In other news, I looooove your china! We didn’t do china, but if I’d seen yours before, maybe we woulda.
