Teatime with Animals

In 2010, my friend Melissa opened The Clipper Ship Tea Company, a tea shop in our hometown of Northport, New York. Soon thereafter, we serendipitously started a collaboration of artwork and tea with the Teatime with Animals series.  Each illustration I create will feature one animal famously indigenous to a tea growing country, and Melissa will blend a tea to pair with my image, based on the country and the colors/vibe of my art. Below are the first 3 (0f 8) Elephant's Teacup, Tiger's Chai and Snow Monkey Tea.  More to come!

ELEPHANT'S TEACUP. A brisk Ceylon Black Tea blended with Sri Lankan cinnamon and tropical island fruits. A finely balanced tea is a perfect harmony of sweet and spiced. This tea pays homage to the peaceful and tranquil beauty of Sri Lanka.

 

TIGER'S CHAI.  A majestic Indian Darjeeling Black Tea blended with bold Indian spices, delicate aromatic flowers and rich notes of vanilla.  An elegant and aristocratic tea that celebrates India and it's majestic Bengal tigers.

SNOW MONKEY.  A Delicate Japanese sencha green tea blended with soothing lavender, warm vanilla and sweet blueberries.  An aromatic tea that's a spa in a cup.  An ethereal tea blended in honor of Japanese hot springs and the whimsical world of snow monkeys.
