Daily Pattern: The Long Overdue Bubble Tea Pattern

topic: luxury

A smart person once told me that you know you're doing okay if (without anxiety) you can buy a bubble tea whenever you want. I still think that's the best measuring stick for the amount of wealth a person needs to be content. Maybe now bubble tea is replaced with regular old person tea, or an espresso drink every now and again, but it still makes me feel like I'm livin' the good life.

Daily Pattern: Favorite teapot

Tea is on my list of top ten favorite things. I will vouch for validity in putting on a kettle if you're feeling a little down.
For Christmas a little while back I asked for a cast iron teapot from my parents, and now it's the best most frequently used thing in my kitchen. After I obtain one of those Beehouse pots I think my next teapot will have to be the little yellow guy in this pattern: a yixing teapot.

Daily Pattern : Teatime

If Lindsay and Alyssa have sister patterns for the teapot topic, Fran Court's teapot pattern and mine may be cousins. Here are some things you need to make that beverage of beverages. Or as some like to say, "the gentlemen's drink".

Daily Pattern : Cuppa Tea?

I think it's fair to say that less than half of the people in my life actually like tea. Some of that half only likes their tea drown in a bunch of sugar and syrup. Some only like Iced Tea, and the small sliver that is left (probably about 5%) drink it straight up, nothing added, no flavors. Tea like it was meant to be. Yes, yes... Maybe I am a tea snob that only likes tea that tastes like water with dirt in it. I'll save the rest of the herbal, flowery, sticky sweet ones for everyone else!

Daily Pattern - Minneapolis Coffee (and Tea) Tour

When Paper Bicycle was a young thing, we would spend countless days plugging away on our laptops at many of Minneapolis's wonderful coffeeshops. I have more love than ever for my favorite hang-outs! We have some of the best places (and more than I could fit on this pattern!) I love my tea and my iced coffees! Yeah for Minneapolis! I love you so!

Bubble tea, anyone?
