Tea is for elitists.

Tea, while I don't drink it too often, lives in this fantastical realm with connotations of a bygone era, be it the Arts & Crafts tea rooms, exotic blends sent from China to Marie Antoinette, or even the simple pleasure of sipping and catching up on a quaint bistro set.

Here's one of my favourite things on Etsy: a handcrafted, fully functional teapot from georgiesmom in Toronto. The colour and shape reminds me of a seaside playground off the Mediterranean Sea. Sigh.
