On My Table and In My Cup July 25th- August 1st

Welcome to another Saturday addition of on my table and in my cup...this week has flown by and so much has crossed my table and I have had a few different blends in my cups this week.

 I am very proud of the blend currently offered to my feathered friends in my new bird feeder I made from two broken tea cups this week! Giving new life to such beautiful things has made me very happy.

On my table and in my cup this week for cozies: Death of an English Muffin, I had been stalking the mail man for this one! I am almost done and loving it. Victoria Hamilton's Merry Muffin Series is delightful! This book is out now and such a fun read.  I was also pleasantly surprised to find Carol J. Perry's Fall release Look both Ways, in my mail box as well...feeling blessed and looking forward to reading this one for sure.
Kindly sent to me this week to try is was the Warm Grey Black tea blend from the Capilano Tea House. I spoke to the owners yesterday and they are working on a plan to offer there blends on line and in more local locations and I will keep you all posted on there releases.

Joyce and Jim Lavene have me feeling like Pumpkin Spiced Everything with their new first in series Given em Pumpkin to talk about...this one is out later this week and you can order it by clicking here.

Tea and Poetry also go well together so my favorite poetry books also were on my table this week, Patricia Neeley-Dorsey's poetry is inspired and calming and a delight to have close at hand. You can find out more about her and her work by clicking here.
I have also had many wonderful friends gather at my tea table in my tea tent this week and it has been a pleasure to host them all.  Thank you for joining me for A Cup of tea and A Cozy Mystery this week and I hope that you will visit me again soon!

New On My Table and In My Cup

It is Wednesday and I am so thrilled that yesterday my mail arrived finally with two books and a special UPS delivery of this wonderful new local tea from Capilano Tea Company. 

My favorite teas are black teas and I love Earl Grey. I was intrigued by the Capilano Tea Company's Warm Grey blend and the first few sips this morning were indeed warm and floral.  This is a blend of Black Tea, Bergamot and Lavender and a very nice start to my day!
The Capilano Tea House has a pop up location currently near Vancouver International Airport and is worth a stop in! You can also find them on line at www.thecapilano.com 

This Canadian Tea pairs beautifully with my long awaited cozy by Canadian Author Victoria Hamilton Death of an English Muffin.

Such a wonderful surprise to have Carol J Perry's newest book (Out this October 27th!) arrive as well an unexpected and welcome witchy surprise! I look forward to reading both these books and sharing my thoughts with you. As I finish writing this mornings post I am already on cup number 2 of Capilano Warm Grey tea. I am so looking forward to taking a trip out to their pop up store again at McArthurglen Designer Outlet 1000-7899 Templeton Station Rd Richmond BC.
Thank you for joining me for a brand new cup of tea and some wonderful cozy mysteries. As with all my posts I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com.

New Tea Shop Just Opened By Vancouver International Airport, The Capilano Tea House and Botanical Soda Company

Yesterday we stopped in at the new high end fashion outlet mall by YVR. The new Capilano Tea House and Botanical Soda Company had just opened.

I attempted to purchase some of the tea however they did not have debit (as it had not yet been set up) so I will have to wait until the next time I find myself out that way.

I was interested in trying this tea because they boast that "The Capilano Tea House and Botanical Soda Company is Indigenous-owned and plant-inspired. We infuse the traditional local with the traditional global for a very Vancouver, curated flavour offering." 
As I live on the Traditional Lands of The Sqaumish Nation I really would like to see this company do well. This company has a pop up summer store at Summer Pop Up at unit 33 - 7899 Templeton Station Road, Richmond, BC.
Hawkers Mercado at McArthur Glen Vancouver.You can find them online by clicking here  I will be attempting to get a hold of some of their teas and let you know what they are like. 

I am off to do some reading this morning with my ARC of Killer Jam by Karen MacInerney check out her work by clicking here.
Thank you for joining me for a cup of tea and a cozy mystery.
