I've suddenly developed a lot more interest in the western style ceramic teapot! This would be great at a party.

I tell you, we need a Science of Teapots forum!

This can go right next to the chocolate teapot study.

Tea gone wrong.

(Warning! Warning! Wine lovers, cover your eyes!)

From Metropolitan Tea Co.

Icewine tea.

Yes, your eyes did not deceive you. This is Ceylon tea bastardized (there is no other word for it, it's beyond simple flavoring of cheap CTC tea) with Canadian Icewine.

Actually that's one of my favourite flavoured teas, I appreciate that it has some decent leaf behind the flavours...makes for a better rounded cup than the typical flavoured tea...that and the wine notes meld really nicely with the Ceylon black tea.

Give it a try before you knock it. :D

Hahaha, no kidding. I was surprised that one of the pictures, the water coming out looked like tea... the kid looked a little young, so perhaps he hadn' t yet learned of the miracle of stains.

Oi, equal time! Surely it's the icewine that's being bastardized here...
