❤️🌹 Happy Mother's Day to All Our Wonderful Moms 🌹❤️

Sunday, May 11th, is fast approaching, and on this day, we celebrate all the wonderful and special Moms and Grandmas in our lives.

We wouldn't be who we are without these remarkable ladies.

I feel incredibly blessed to have had an amazing Grandma and Mom in my life, who, unbeknownst to them, actually started me on my tea journey all those years ago.

As a child, my Grandma would brew a pot of tea and serve it with shortbread cookies on a plate.

Then, she, my Mom, and I would sip our tea from her fine china cups, nibble on the cookies, and enjoy each other's company.

As I grew older, I realized how extraordinary this tradition was and that I wanted to pass it down to my children—both my sons and my daughter.

For Mother's Day, when my Grandma was still alive, I always gifted her white chocolate, tea (which I used to buy from the grocery store), and a pretty new china cup.

I now have many of these tea cups in my house today.

My Mom was a very, very talented watercolor artist, so for Mother's Day, her gifts were always art supplies, a movie pass (since she loved going to the movies), a beautiful plant for her yard, and, of course, tea.

In her later years, I discovered loose-leaf tea, and she always looked forward to trying new flavors I found for her or having her favorites restocked.

One of her favorites was my Decaf Lemon Supreme Green Tea.

This decaf Sencha green tea is blended with Australian Lemon Myrtle and natural lemon flavoring. It is an outstanding decaf green tea with just the right amount of lemon and creamy smoothness.

I'm also proud to say it is a proprietary blend made just for the Uptown Tea Shop.

Another favorite of my Mom was Apple Cinnamon Herbal Tea.

She would enjoy a cup after dinner, as her evenings wouldn't feel complete without it accompanied by a cookie. I think you can guess where she got that tradition from—thank you Grandma.

It makes my heart sad that these two wonderful ladies are no longer with me. I miss them every day, but the lasting gifts they gave me will remain with me forever.

So, if you still have a special Mom or Grandma in your life, consider yourself blessed.

Be sure to tell them how much they mean to you and how much you love them.

And if you are local to my shop, I invite you to come in and explore our selection of teas and beautiful accessories.

If you're not nearby, don't worry. Just pop online and check out all the teas and gift sets. I have a dedicated collection just for Mother's Day Teas, and there's still time to send a special gift set.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful moms who work tirelessly for zero pay and do the hardest job on the planet: raising children. Our payment comes in the form of those special hugs and sloppy kisses from our precious kids.

I raise my tea cup, or, in my case, a mug and salute all the wonderful moms out there.
