The Tea Cosy Tearooms, Kusmi Black Tea w/ Citrus, Vanilla and Spices and Peppermint Slice Afternoons


i like you MONDAY OBSESSIONS

The girls behind i like you world have several obsessions. We like tea, tattoos, animals, owls, nature, Smashing Pumpkins, panda bears, animation, all things handmade, Camper Shoes, indie films, Yoshitomo Nara, good books, The Cure, New York, Frankie Magazine, baking, cooking, typography, coffee, apple macs, cool art, London Ink, Japan, Cupcakes, blackboards, Real Living mag, East Brunswick, muffins at Mylokal, crossword puzzles, designer toys, the yeah yeah yeahs, our fave cafe 'Sugardough', lambswool gloves and scarves, rabbits, all things cute and kawaii, Berlin, farmer's market's, staying up late and so much more. For a daily obsessions list see i like you's shop gal Doreen's blog Doreenmon's World.

Every Monday from now on we will have a column called 'Monday Obsessions' where we will explain why we love these things. So here goes our first post.

We're big tea drinkers here at i like you world. At least once a week we bring out our teapot and have afternoon tea in store with any customers that are lucky enough to enter the store at this time. There's nothing better then a big pot of Earl Grey Tea and a peppermint slice biscuit at 4pm. There's a gorgeous tea house in Brighton, East Sussex in the UK called 'The Tea Cosy'. We wish this cafe lived a bit closer to us so we could go visit everyday.

We are so obsessed, we purchase tea and tea related things from the internet.
