Paris Tea obsession

We fell in love with Kusmi Teas while in Paris. I have the muslin tea bags which are sometimes too darn pretty to throw away! The tea packaging and their stores are stunning.

BE COOL is a blend of verbena, peppermint and liquorice that helps calm the nerves. Kusmi has a great online site. They also have a store in NYC and their products are sold at Dean and Deluca and other specialty food stores.

My Little Two Cents: A set of teas always makes a great host gift.

china...the fine kind

I found a cool new store yesterday. Actually, it is an old store with a new name and owner.

It's called Inheritance.

It's here in LA. Always drove by it on my way home from visiting my man. Yesterday, I stopped in and took a gander.

They carry a cool line of china...from The New English. Really pretty with a cool edge to it. Could buy just a cup and saucer for someone to enjoy a cup of tea or buy a whole set.

It's hot in here...

Benefits of chef husband = really cool free gifts from random events. I am even more thankful that the above was a freebie. This thermos is incredible. I have opened the cap to a piping hot sip of tea after 5 hours. I use it more then anything in our kitchen. It is from a Japanese company called Zojirushi. They make all types of rice machines and other small kitchen equipment which you can find at crate and barrel or sur la table. My mug is part of the d-mug series. I think you can buy it through the site but I also found one being sold through an ebay store for $56.00!! After seeing the price I plan on not throwing this in the car anymore or letting it drop on the ground. I will take very good care of this little pricey thermos.
Do you use a thermos??
