I have never been a die hard coffee drinker, but on occasion, I'll drink a cup or two of decaf. Usually my coffee is iced and it is more milk and creamer than coffee. I am all about some tea, but I like to keep my taste buds open to new things. One day at church, they were giving away a free cup of coffee, (which happens on occasion), and I ended up with a piping hot cup of a decaf coffee that has changed the game.


Larry's Coffee is a locally owned and operated coffee beanery that has flavors of all kinds. They even make custom blends. One of my friends Gabi has her own blend for her shop Gabi's Grounds. The cup I tried at church called "Twilight", has changed the game for me in terms of coffee. It's a smooth medium roast that caused me to actually like coffee more than I ever have. Don't get me wrong, tea is still my number one, but when I do have a cup of joe, this is what I have.




So since I only drink small amounts of coffee, it made no sense for me to actually get a coffee maker any time I wanted a cup. So instead of me wasting coffee that I may or may not finish drinking, I opted to get a French Press so that I could accommodate my coffee cravings.

I have been loving all things iridescent and oil slick lately, and when I saw this press on Amazon, I jumped at the chance.

So for me, tea is one of my favorite things to drink. Whether hot or cold, I love the flavor and all it has to offer. I don't discriminate when it comes to tea, I love both loose tea and bagged tea.



I had started to notice the amount of teas in boxes was starting to take up a lot of space where I normally keep my teas. So, I began hunting for a cute way to store my tea bags that would still be functional.








I began shopping on Amazon for a closed container that held a decent amount of teas. The storage couldn't be too big or too small. I have enough teas to need a decent size, but also for when I bought more kinds, I wouldn't have to keep them in the box, but would be able to store them right away.
There were a lot of wooden tea boxes that satisfied those needs, but they were out of the price range I was looking to spend. Some of them were $30 and up. Then, I found this gem, which is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't need to put my teas on display, like with many of wooden boxes with glass in the lid.





I love my container and it holds every tea bag I have. This was such a great buy for $25! And now I must continue the hunt for a cute storage solution for my loose teas.






Until next time!
