I'm thinkin'

I'm thinking that I want to join a CSA! There's one in our neighborhood and I've just been dying to join one since last year. Just the idea of getting a bunch of fresh fruits and veggies every other week (there's only 2 of us so we would have to get a half share) is very exciting to me! Plus it would force me to cook new things as well. Potentially getting veggies I don't eat on a regular basis. Yum!!

The CSA I'm thinking of joining is Jewish but they accept non Jewish members as well. :)

Well we'll see.

Another thing I'm wanting to get into is teas. Specifically loose leaf teas. I bought a Tasting Notes app on my iphone where you can set up different types of tasting note journals (wine, cheese, coffee, tea etc). This is just another thing I've been thinking about for awhile. I guess one thing at a time.

But I'm definitely keeping my eye out for a good teapot! A small one preferably because I'll be the only one drinking it. I'm not really sure what makes a good teapot. I like the look of these:




I've been following a blog called Lainie Sips, which of course has only made me more curious about trying different teas!

I think a really great way to get introduced to tea is a tea of the month club. With this particular choice, I would also get a teapot. Oh I'm getting excited just thinking about getting started! ha!

I love using loose teas. My favorite place to order from is Coffee Bean Direct. We also get our whole bean coffee from there and love it.

Have fun with your teapot search.

Thanks for visiting my blog and giving me a shout-out! Those teapots look good: I am not a huge fan of infusers as they restrict the expansion of the tea leaves, but I also think that you should use whatever makes tea most convenient for you!

Have you checked out the ingenuiTEA, or some of the other all-in-one tea carafe/infusers?
