Gregory's Serverthe "Taking Tea in Richmond" is going straight into TeaTime magazine's favorite moment in history, the American revolutionary war (did you know there was a thing called the "boston tea party"???)

 "..historical evidence shows that Thomas Jefferson was a frequent tea consumer..." 'The tearoom also gave Kip a reason to utilize her constantly growing collection of china, or, as she calls them, her "pretties"' please read the last part in a gollum voice aww this feature of Lovejoy's Tearoom is making me sad for being able to go places imo lovejoy's is the best afternoon tea in san francisco, and I have tried all of them "In February 1680, French aristocrat Marie de Rabutin Chantal, the Marquis de Sévigné, told her daughter in a gossipy letter that Madam de la Sablière set the trend for milk in tea." can you even imagine hotter gossip this cream pitcher's manacles and chain suggests that it was too dangerous to be unlidded freely "ooh, fiestaware" -- me, someone you can't take anywhere without commenting on iconic pottery brands  @tripofmice this is just like being at a second-hand store with @courtney  @darius @tripofmice Darius should consider himself blessed that I’ve decided we’re slowly investing in having dishes that are made by a local ceramicist and thus can be relatively easily reordered if they break, instead of slowly investing in vintage dishes that will send me on a lifelong endless quest to always be searching for more and better pieces |
the feature they did on what kinds of tea were throw into the harbor is still one of my favorite pieces of TeaTime magazine content
