This may be the wine talking, but I love wine.T. Kingfisher February 07 2017
"Goblin tea resembles al nice cup of Earl Grey in much the same way that a catfish resembles the common tabby. They share a name, but one is a nice thing to curl up with on a rainy afternoon, the other is found in the muck at the bottom of polluted rivers and has bits of debris sticking to it."Jim Anderson, (Unmasked: Exposing the Cultural Sexual Assault) February 06 2017
"If you want to fight hell and the powers of darkness that seek to destroy the hearts of our daughters, I know a type of spiritual warfare that creates value in a daughter's spirit. It's called "Taking your Daughter out for tea." This works in direct opposition to the agenda of hell and darkness that wants to destroy their lives."Christine Feehan, (Hidden Currents) February 05 2017

I am so fond of tea that I could write a whole dissertation on its virtues. It comforts and enlivens without the risks attendant on spirituous liquors. Gentle herb! Let the florid grape yield to thee. Thy soft influence is a ore safe inspirer of social joy!"Gerald Durrell, (My Family and Other Animals) February 01 2017
"Tea would arrive, the cakes squatting on cushions of cream, toast in a melting shawl of butter, cups agleam, and a faint wisp of steam rising from the teapot shawl."William Faulkner January 31 2017

"We had a kettle, we let it leak. Our not repairing it made it worse. We haven't had any tea for a week. The bottom is out of the Universe."Tea Testimonial January 24 2017
The tea was absolutely phenomenal! Subtle undertones of flavor that melded together perfectly with the wonderful aroma. Will definitely be buying more!Penny Lane Peppermint (Customer Review) January 24 2017
I had a cup at the tea, and I hate to say I don't remember the name of the tea, but it was a very pleasant tasting tea. I bought a bag of the Penny Lane Peppermint for my sister-in-law, and I loved it! (She did too!). I am not one to vary from my usual brand of tea, but Mrs. McCartney's tea is a definite new buy for me! A big thank you to Mrs. McCartney for sending the teas to The Beatles At The Ridge Fest!Blue Jay Blueberry (Customer Review) January 24 2017
Dear Mrs. McCartney,
You have turned a Southern iced sweet tea girl into a proper lady with a cuppa!
Your book inspired me to put the kettle on and partake of your fine organic teas!
I have sampled all flavors, but my favorite is Blue Jay Blueberry (sorry Mum, I'm a George girl).
The delicious black tea is blanketed with a groovy blueberry fragrance and I treat myself to a cup every evening.
The tea bags are exquisitely presented in a beautiful nylon bag labeled "Luxury Tea" and I have been proud to gift the teas to many loved ones, with very heartfelt excitement.
Someone very dear to you said ... "Drink to me, drink to my health" ... and apparently you took that to "heart," as I have also learned that your teas contain multiple health benefits.
Thank you Mrs. McCartney, for your attention to detail in a product that is as delightful as you!

"We had a kettle, we let it leak. Our not repairing it made it worse. We haven't had any tea for a week. The bottom is out of the Universe."The Book of Tea January 21 2017
"Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of every day existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life."
Kakuzo Okakura
From Lady Audley's Secret January 19 2017
"Surely a pretty woman never looks prettier than when making tea."
