the little tea zine….

I had such a lovely suprise in the mail this afternoon – a cute little parcel of tea-themed goodness from Isis.

A while back Isis put out the call for tea-themed contributions for a zine she wanted to make, I sent her a drawing & she included it for me – very nice of her considering the pool of talent I now know she had contributing! I’m sorry Isis love – my Miss Teapot is positively outclassed!

Anywho – the finished zine is A M A Z I N G. Beautiful, cute, funky, clever & just… well… just my cup of tea. There are tea-themed crafts to make, reviews to read, recipes to drool over, stories to savour… I can’t believe how much dear Isis has been able to fit into this little gem & just how fabulous it all is. Truly! Perfect for sitting down in your favourite armchair with an iced vovo, & yes; a cup of tea. You might need a pot of tea actually, if you plan on getting through everything in just one sitting.

If you would like to see for yourself, you can buy it here for just $5 AND you get a free tea-themed badge!

If you are feeling lucky, you might want to tell me what your favourite drop of tea is in the comments below. I have two copies of this tea-riffic (ha! I kill me!) little zine & I’m giving one away. I’m keeping the badge though. Sorry.

    It looks so cute (and I love your Little Miss Teatime)!

    My everyday cuppa is Twinnings Simply Tea - because it's good! And I do like English Breakfast or Lady Grey when I want to go fancy.

    Chai! love my chai masala. Real tea that is, not syrup or powder.
    I try to get it just like they make it in the Chai tent at St Andrews Market but can never *quite* get it ginger-y enough.
    If I can't have Chai I love Russian Caravan.

    the little zine looks great! Well done for being featured :)

    oh I haven't thought of the chai tent at St. Andrew's market in years (and am now feeling slightly old). Sweet memories.
    I quite like tea with my neighbour at the bus stop (her house!) after the kids have gone to school. Is always accompanied by lots of chat.

    My fave is peppermint with gunpowder ixed in it.


    I am also quite partial to Lady Grey.

    I love in a teapot.

    With milk and sugar and a biccy, and a magazine and a bird singing in a tree beside me as a swing in the hammock...

    Hey there,
    My everyday cuppa is always Lipton's Intense (mmmmm.... what does that say about me exactly????). I also love a good English Breakfast and Ginger Tea is divine at times too.
    I absolutely detest Lady Grey. To me its akin to drinking perfume. So there you have it.
    I hope this finds you well. Congrats on the new edition to the family. I know our paths will eventually cross when the timing is right. Anyway you asked for a comment not a bloody essay!
    Me :)

    My favourite tea is like this zine.....HOT (off the press), BLACK (the colour printing), and STRONG (to hold all of the amazing gems you mentioned) :) Fingers crossed, Jenny :)

    Hi nice to see you back and as a published illustrator no less! Your sense of humour still intact - those kidlets must be treating you well!
    A pot of Billy tea (the brand - maybe in a billy if possible) in the 'tea for one' pot given to me for Christmas by my littlest miss.

    What is there anything but Lanchoo? We drink a lot of tea in our house. My 19-year-old said yesterday I get my daily calcium intake through the tea I drink, some 5mL at a time.

    Chai with milk, definitely. Delicious. Yummy. ... mh, I might get me some...! :)

    Your Tea Lady is gorgeous, and Vic, you are just too humble.

    Hope everything is fine with you and your loved ones. Happy 2011! :)
