Welcome

Thanks for visiting us here at Tearoom Chronicles. We hope you enjoy browsing through the rest of our site and sharing our love of all things tea. We offer information, ideas, recipes, and resources for the best of quality teas and accessories. We also produce a free newsletter, The Chronicles, for our subscribers full of useful, fun and interesting information.

We have found the tea community to be a friendly collaborative, always willing to share ideas, reviews and information. We will soon be providing an interactive page for you to add your comments and ideas and share your tea experiences and stories with our community.

Are you in the mood for a little light-hearted reading with your afternoon tea? You may enjoy getting to know the loveable characters in our e-books, the Loose Leaf Ladies series. These ladies cook up a bunch of laughter, as well as some delicious Southern recipes, some of which you will find in our e-cookbook, “A Month of Sundays”.

We are pleased to offer fine tea and accessories from Generation Tea and The American Tea Room. Visit our online store. You’re sure to find your favorites there.

Our new Monthly Contest begins with the September edition of the newsletter. Beautiful custom, hand-glazed, one-of-a-kind teapots by The Mad Potter (my husband the artist) will be available exclusively to our newsletter subscribers, but you could win one these for free. Just go to our menu, click on the Newsletter tab and sign up for your free subscription. This month’s edition will provide you with all the details to enter the September contest and win one of these lovely teapots.

Come on in. The kettle is hot, the hearth is warm and cozy, and we have lots to share with you about tea.
