Hey everybody! I’m back with a new episode of the Lesbian Tea Basket! I haven’t done one since I left New York City and it’s high time I inaugurated my tea porch with some reviews of tea.
Both of those mugs are from Dollywood. The iced tea pitcher is from David’s Tea. The plant is in a pot from my mom and cuttings from her citronella. Praying that the cuttings take, I’ve never planted plants from cuttings before.
My last episode talked about my Christmas Adagio tea haul and I’m excited to have been offered the opportunity to spend a gift card at Adagio teas to review more tea! Thanks Adagio for supporting the biggest fan of your decaf black! (Am I the biggest fan? Probably.)
Here’s the episode shot just this morning on my porch! You can’t see my gardening mishaps of the hanging basket variety (may that hanging basket rest in peace I’m so bummed about it), and you also can’t see the giant pile of garden accessories I just got from my mom’s retiring and selling her house please take all my garden stuff trip to the Bay Area on Memorial Day weekend.
Here are the teas I shout out:
Coconut Black Tea
Valentines
Green Rooibos Key West
Honeybush Vanilla
Decaf Earl Grey
Decaf Raspberry
Decaf Tropics
To get $5 off your first order at Adagio, use this coupon code: 3189993374 (I get social media credit for it so I can buy MORE tea and have more reviews of tea!)
I didn’t mention in the video how much I LOVE the Adagio website and how they have created the tea buying experience. Number one, I love that you can buy samples for $2! No big risk there when you only have $2 on the line! Number two, I love that they incentivize tea customers by offering points for reviews so there are many perspectives on each tea. Number three, I love points (ask me about my Dunkin Donuts Perks card) and you can get points by sharing your favorites on social media, reviews and when you check out they give you another free sample by tweeting or Facebooking about your order!
Not related to the website, I love that their packets of tea are exactly right for preserving tea–they keep out light, moisture and air and keep the tea maximally fresh. Don’t store your tea in clear plastic bags! That’s not protecting the leaves!
This is an adorable Lesbian Tea Basket I picked up while thrifting!
Enjoy the video and I look forward to sharing more about tea from my lovely California home!
If you’d like to watch more episodes of the Lesbian Tea Basket check out this playlist–I started this web series in 2010! SO much has changed since then and I have reviewed a lot of tea!
Me and Dara last weekend at the EveryBody Dance fundraiser for the low income scholarship program for the new body and gender positive gym opening up in Northeast LA! The glittery dress was a hand me down from Nora of Nora’s Novity! Goddess bless Femmes purging their closets!
