Review: Grosche Tuscany Glass Teapot with Stainless Steel Mesh Infuser




After a long day at work one of my favorite things to do is to curl up on my couch with a nice cup of tea. With the Grosche Tuscany Glass Teapot with Stainless Steel Infuser I am able to easily make a pot of wonderful tasting tea in no time. This Glass tea pot comes with a stainless steel infuser that won’t break like other glass infusers often do.


What are the features?
·         Premium Glass teapot with stainless steel infuser
·         1201 ml capacity which is enough for about 4-5 cups of tea
·         Stainless steel infuser will not break like a glass infuser
·         Beautiful design will show off the color of the tea as it infuses
·         Micro fine top grade infuser has micro mesh holes to allow loose tea leaves to steep fully

This Grosche Teapot is so beautifully made that even if you aren't a tea lover such as myself this would make a great decoration item in your home. I am a huge tea connoisseur so I would first like to say that glass tea pots are NOT in any circumstances supposed to be used to boil water on the stove. These tea pots are meant to house and steep your tea from already pre-boiled water. Simply add your tea leaves to the infuser and pour the hot water over them. This will steep your tea perfectly without damaging the tea pot in any way.



The Grosche Teapot is very easy to use, and it is designed in a very user friendly way. The pour spout doesn't drip at all which I can appreciate. There is nothing worse than spilling hot tea all over the place. The mesh infuser has micro fine openings that allow your loose tea leaves to steep without actually getting through the holes and getting in to your tea.

I love the fact that this teapot holds 4-5 cups of tea. I like steeping my tea then sitting this teapot on my coffee table for easy access throughout the night. I am able to have tea all night from one steep with this Grosche teapot.



The cleanup of this teapot is extremely easy as well. All I do is empty out the infuser and hand wash everything. It takes less than 2 minutes and it’s ready to go for the next tea! I would absolutely recommend the Grosche Teapot to anyone, it is very high quality and makes your tea drinking experience more enjoyable.

Review: Kiss Me Organics Matcha


Lately I have been somewhat of a tea connoisseur, but I had never tried Matcha tea, until I received the Kiss Me Organics ceremonial grade Matcha. To make a cup of this Matcha you simply heat your water and add a tiny bit of the Matcha powder to your glass. You then whisk the tea in zig zag motions until it gets foamy and frothy. 

I absolutely love the taste of this tea, it's honestly unlike any other tea I've ever tried. It tastes really fresh and I notice that I actually do get an energy boost from this one! Matcha is said to have many health benefits in addition to tasting delicious, it's said to improve skin and memory, improve metabolism, and have powerful antioxidant properties. 

The Kiss Me Organics Matcha is first harvest only, and undergoes a shade process for 3 weeks. 

I can't wait to try some of this Matcha powder in baking! I recommend the Kiss Me Organics Matcha to any tea lover. It is truly unlike any other tea, and you will not be disappointed.

Review: Tea L'Original Marie Antoinette Pink Tin

Curling up to a nice hot cup of tea at the end of my day is one of my favorite things to do. I am a huge fan of Rose flavored teas, and the Tea L'Original Marie Antoinette Pink Tin has quickly become one of my favorites. This is a delicious French tea that is made of Black Ceylon, Rose, and Fresh apples coming from Versailles. This tea is very multi-dimensional, it can change quickly just by how long you steep it!

This tea embodies everything I think of when I picture France; robust but somehow softly floral, fruity apples, and it makes you feel sophisticated while you're drinking it! Personally I steep this tea to get the most Rose flavor out of it. I absolutely love this tea it would be great to host a tea party for a wedding or baby shower, or just a fun day with the girls. This tea would also be a great stocking stuffer for the holidays! I can't wait to try the other flavors from Nina's Paris.

Review: Paşabahçe Turkish Tea Glass Set



Life can get monotonous over time, and sometimes all it takes is doing something a little differently. I normally drink my tea out of the same mug every single day, until I recently received a set of  Turkish Tea Glasses, and I have to say they are amazing. They come in a set of 6 and they are the perfect size to sit and sip on some nicely brewed tea.

I really enjoy drinking tea with these glasses, they are just the right size, and apparently they are the exact same glasses that are used in Turkey! These Turkish Tea Glasses are made of a heat resistant glass, but do not put them in the microwave. They are dishwasher safe, but I recommend only putting them on the top rack.


These Turkish Tea Glasses would be perfect for a tea lover! The holidays are right around the corner!

Review: Tea Beyond Fab Flowering Blooms Tea

Relaxing with a hot cup of tea after a long day at work is one of my favorite things to do, but I had recently found myself in a "tea rut". I would always find myself using the same teas and I wasn't getting much variety until I tried the Tea Beyond Fab Flowering Blooms Tea.

First of all, packaging really speaks to me, and something that is beautifully packaged has that little something extra in my opinion. The Tea Beyond Fab Flowering Blooms Tea comes in a box that looks almost like Origami when you open it. The bundles of tea are inside all singly vacuum packed for freshness.


The Tea Beyond Fab Flowering Blooms Tea comes in a variety pack with 5 different teas:
Sunshine, Forever Love, Relaxation, Paradise, and Fab Jasmine. I'm brewing the Paradise tea in these pictures.

To brew the Fab Flowering Blooms Tea, you simply heat your water to boiling, then wait about a minute so it has time to slightly cool off. Add the hot water to your teapot (I used the Tea Beyond Teapot Butterfly), drop in your Fab Flowering tea, put on your lid and let it steep for a few minutes.

The closed pod of tea quickly blooms into a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and it infuses your water with the most delicious tea. This Tea Beyond Fab Flowering Blooms Tea made my tea drinking routine fun again. I felt like a kid watching the tea pot seeing what sort of flower was going to take shape. 

The bloom will infuse your water with a delicious blend of Silver Needle Green Tea, Jasmine, Carnation, Calendula, Globe Amaranth, and Lily. The water will turn a beautiful amber color, and that is how you know your tea is ready. The tea itself has a very light refreshing green tea flavor with a slight fruity and sweet note. I personally also enjoy the fact that you can use each Flowering Bloom for up to 10 brews. This is the perfect addition to anyone's tea collection, I can't wait to try all of the other flowering tea flavors!

Review: Tea Beyond Glass Teapot Butterfly

I absolutely love tea, and I find that I have a few cups of tea every evening to relax, but I discovered that I actually don't own any tea pots. I got into a rut of taking my glass, microwaving some water, and steeping my tea bag and I realized that there is a whole other world of tea out there. I was looking at different loose teas and blooming teas, but realized that I didn't even have a proper tea pot to steep them in, until I got the chance to try out the Tea Beyond Glass Teapot Butterfly, and it has revolutionized my whole tea drinking routine.


The Tea Beyond Glass Teapot Butterfly is the most beautiful glass teapot I've ever seen. I actually have it on display in my home when it's not in use. This teapot is beautifully and thoughtfully designed and made entirely out of heat resistant glass. It also has water like droplets on the teapot itself as well as the handle which help make the handle slip proof! The butterfly on the lid is the icing on the cake for me. I love anything girly, and the beautiful butterfly lid handle is my favorite design feature of this teapot.

What are the features of the Tea Beyond Glass Teapot Butterfly?
  • Made entirely of heat resistant glass.
  • Slip resistant handle.
  • Tea infuser insert for use with loose leaf or blooming teas.
  • Holds 24 oz of tea.
  • Top rack dishwasher safe.
  • Spill proof spout.
  • Holds heat extremely well. 
  • Durable design.
  • Comes in the colors blue, green, pink, and rainbow.


As a lover of tea, The Tea Beyond Glass Teapot Butterfly has been the best addition to my home. I love brewing a blooming tea in this pot and curling up to a good book or movie. One of my favorite features is the fact that it holds 24 oz. of tea, that way I can take the Glass Teapot Butterfly with me and fill up my cup as I need. This would be the perfect gift for a tea connoisseur, or a great surprise for a girly girl! I recommend Tea Beyond to everyone, the company and the products are top notch!

As a cautionary tip, because I know someone is wondering, under no circumstances should you put this Glass Teapot Butterfly on the stove. It's best to use hot water just under boiling, it will steep your tea perfectly and not damage the Teapot in any way.
