The Book Lover's Cup of Tea
The Book Lover's Cup of Tea: Includes Tea Infuser | Running Press
23 posts | 3 to read
The perfect gift for any bookworm in your life, The Book Lover's Cup of Tea includes an innovative book-shaped tea infuser (titled A Tale of Two Ci-Teas) that offers two ways to brew: Dunk the entire book into your cup, or let the cover rest on the rim of your tea cup and hang the tea-filled pages into your hot water to steep. The kit also includes a 32-page book with tips for making the perfect cup of tea; suggestions for tea and book pairings (fancy a cup of Dorian Earl Gray?); and scrumptious recipes for tea sandwiches, cakes, and cookies, perfect for a book club gathering or a long, lazy day of reading.

Rediscovered the tea samples that came with my last tea order 🤩 I‘ve finished French Noir (quite nice but wouldn‘t reorder) and have moved on to Rosella (served with honey, is a gorgeous purple colour)

My brain has switched to weekend mode - which is unfortunate because I have lots to do and there are still 2ish hours til home time (if I stay to the end rather than making a break for it out the back door)

My cousin just sent me this. She said when she saw it she immediately bought it because “it has books and tea and that‘s what I think of when I think of you!”
I think my work here on the planet is done. 🙌🏼👊🏼

KristiAhlers Ok I‘m tea mug jealous! That‘s the best travel mug I‘ve seen in a long while! ❤️ 2y

On the way home from work, I stopped by the grocery store and found they had a new line of tea on the shelves, so I picked two varieties. For all you fellow tea-swilling bibliophiles out there, have you ever tried these tantalizing teas?! When I opened up the box of Gold, I don‘t think I‘ve ever come across a better tea-scent, ever! It‘s aMAZing! 😱 I‘m going to try the Gold in a bit, I can‘t get the aroma out of my head! 🙈🤤

pdever Yorkshire Gold kick started my tea consumption 5y
LeahBergen I have BOTH of these in my tea cupboard. 😍😍 5y
Suet624 Hmmm..I‘m going to have to find this gold of which you speak! 5y

alisiakae Yorkshire Gold is delicious! 5y
mrsmarch Scottish breakfast!! Nice and smoky. 5y
KarouBlue Love them both. And love knowing I‘m not the only person who buys every new box of tea I meet! 5y
dragondrool I find the Taylor's to be a little week. Yorkshire Gold is fabulous. PG Tips is great, too, if you happen across it. 5y
Bookwormjillk Yum. Did you find these in the regular grocery store? 5y
bookishbitch They look amazing. Sadly in recent years I've had to cut back to herbal and low caffeine teas for my stomach. Enjoy them! 5y
LeeRHarry Taylors is the best! 😊 5y
bookishkai Taylor‘s Scottish Breakfast is my most favorite tea! I brew mine for like 10-15 minutes and drink it with milk and sugar (I like lots of both, so I like a tea that still tastes like tea after I doctor it up). You‘re so lucky to find it at the grocery store; I order mine from Amazon. (edited) 5y
MaureenMc Love Yorkshire Gold! 5y
reelsndreads These both sound intriguing! I am a firm Irish Breakfast drinker but will definitely pick either of these up if I see them. Always looking for new tea to try! 5y

Totally not book related but as many of you drink tea I had share my feelings with you.

Just saw this gorgeous (for me in Germany new) tea collection of Twinings. I love Twinings... But have you seen the price? 8,50 Euro for 15 tea bags? 😱😱😱😱

rubyslippersreads So pretty! 6y
Melissa_J Wow! That‘s expensive. 6y
julesG It is so expensive! I love Twining, but that price is eye-watering. 6y

quietlycuriouskate I'm fuelled by tea, but that's extortionate. 😦 6y
Lizpixie Wow. I buy the same tea and also their chamomile,honey & vanilla tea here in Sydney for$2.50 And they go on special often as a 2 for $3 deal so I stock up then. The hubby just bought me ten boxes on sale. That price is ridiculous! 6y
Sarah83 @Lizpixie sounds great 😍💖 6y
ju.ca.no It‘s really yummy tea though😍 my parents always have their english breakfast tea! 6y
scripturient Holy moly! Make a list of the types you want and I‘ll see if I can find them in Scotland for you when I‘m there in August. 😊 6y
scripturient Oh, they are 6,50 pounds in Britain. 😳 So 8,50 Euros is actually and okay conversion. Still ridiculously expensive. 😕 6y
Sarah83 @scripturient yes. I am so sad. 😭 I love fruit teas. 😍 I only know the berries tea. ☺️ 6y

@BookishTrish it has arrived! I'd never heard of this title, but it sounds quite good. I'm excited to read it! And the tea smells DELICIOUS - I love ginger, can't wait to steep my first cup. And in a brand new bookish mug - THANK YOU! I love it 😍

DebBates101 Is this the last call forever or will you be accepting more Littens later? I reaaaaalllly want in a group but I havent explored any options yet. Any advice would be appreciated xo 6y
SkeletonKey @DebBates101 - Probably the last call for the tea lovers group because we hope to have everyone sorted and sending off their books by around March 17th! The sign up form is brief if you‘d like to click the link and see if it might work for you. Hope you join us xxx 6y
DebBates101 @SkeletonKey i read the form and it sounds pretty simple. My understanding is there arent a lot of groups open to new members. And I do love tea ☕️📖 so i think i will DO IT 6y

alisiakae Just wondered if you had an update on when matches will be sent out? I plan on buying my tea selections online, which might make it tougher to have it sent out by the 15th! Looking forward to the match-ups, and thank you to you and @TheKidUpstairs for organizing! I know it can be a process! 6y
TheKidUpstairs @4thhouseontheleft we'll be sending the groups out this weekend. We're thinking of extending the date to send out your first book, for people who want to read their selection first. 6y
alisiakae @TheKidUpstairs Awesome!! A bit of extra time would help! 😃😃 I‘m heading to FL to visit my mom during chemo in a week. 😊 But I already have a line up of teas in mind, lol, just don‘t want to buy before seeing match preferences! 6y
SkeletonKey @TheKidUpstairs Sounds like giving everyone more time might be the best option! That way everyone can find their books & tea and enjoy before they send things off 😊 Also- sending you & mom love, @4thhouseontheleft 6y
LazyDays @SkeletonKey Have you guys sorted and pick everyone yet? 6y
SkeletonKey @LazyDays - We just sent out emails! Let me know if you don‘t receive one in the next few hours 💜 6y

alisiakae Question- will books be going in a circle, so that we get tea from the same person each time, or will we be sending packages to a new person in our group every 6 weeks? 6y
SkeletonKey @cobwebmoth - *tempts you* 6y
SkeletonKey @4thhouseontheleft - To keep things a little easier/clearer for everyone, you would probably be sending to the same person each time in a circle. 💜 6y
debthmpsn Thank you! Signed up. 6y
SkeletonKey @debthmpsn - Hurray! 6y
cobwebmoth I'm thinking... when do signups close? And do you have dates set for sending yet?(I'm trying to see if it will fit in with the other postal book clubs I'm in) 6y
SkeletonKey @cobwebmoth - I don‘t think we have mail dates yet but we were hoping to close sign ups around March 1. I expect it will be mid March mailing! Thoughts, @TheKidUpstairs ? 6y
BibliophileMomma So tempting but I‘m doing so many right now. 6y
SkeletonKey @Tiffy_Reads - Aw darn. I‘ve over book myself a little but I‘m gonna Make It Work 🏳️‍🌈 6y
TheKidUpstairs @SkeletonKey @cobwebmoth - (sorry for the delay, I was at work!). I think that sounds good, sign ups open until Mar 1. Maybe first packages out by Mar 17? (Just because it's St. Paddy's and that's fun?) 6y

BookishMe Too tempting! I was just telling myself earlier that I should set aside budget for future swaps and postal club(s) 🤣🤣 6y
BookishMe @TheKidUpstairs @4ravens wonder what's the postage between Southeast Asia and Oz... 6y
CocoReads Tea is yummy. 6y
Miche Sooooo tempting, but I've never done one of these. Any idea what the average cost is that people stick to? 6y
Craftylikefox This is terribly tempting!!! 6y
Craftylikefox Is there a particular genre for the book?? 6y
TheKidUpstairs @Craftylikefox we're not setting a genre. Once we sort you into groups, it's up to you. Some groups may like to set a genre, some might want to keep it random. 6y
TheKidUpstairs @Miche hmmm.. tough to say. Initially it's a book and some tea (and the book can be used, or one you own), any extras are totally optional. But it is a postal book club, rather than a swap, so you are committing to sending the books on every six weeks (for about 4 rounds). You're not buying a new book each time, but you are adding tea and if course paying for postage. In Canada I find the postage is about $15 each time, not sure the US costs. 6y
Craftylikefox I think I signed up? I didn‘t receive an auto email and my phone was acting weird. I don‘t know if I should sign up again? 6y
TheKidUpstairs @Craftylikefox yes! We've got your sign up 😁 We're keeping it open until March 1, we'll be in touch shortly after that with your group info! 6y
Craftylikefox Oh yay! Thank you!! 6y

I can't resist tea questions.

1. Loose leaf every morning, but tea bag if I'm rushed.
2. Caffeine in the morning, herbal through the day.
3. Cream Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong, Matcha.
4. Not that I can think of!

#muglove #tea @TheKidUpstairs

TheKidUpstairs Love Cream Earl Grey, and love smoked teas! 6y
SkeletonKey @TheKidUpstairs - Yum! We should start up a tea exchange, lol. 6y
TheKidUpstairs @SkeletonKey hmmm... this is not a bad idea. I know there is a coffee lovers postal book club on here, maybe the new year should see the creation of a tea lovers postal book club! You've got the hamster wheel spinning in my head! 6y

1. Either
2. Decaf please
3. Spicy like chai, anything full-bodied. I love this stuff called Dandy Blend, which is dandelion tea.
4. Chamomile, lemon, mild boring flavors 😎

It‘s so fun to shop again for another exchange. #muglove

Dolly I like Dandy Blend too! It‘s been a long time since I‘ve had it and at the time it was hard to find and $. 6y
