New Tea Bag!

Here's my first hand-made, batik reuseable tea bag prototype! What do you think?

It's about 3" x 4" like my hand-stamped muslin tea bags, so they can be used for a single cup or a pot! I've soaked fabric samples in tea for hours to see how much they discolor and they seem to keep their color well. The drawstring is blue colored hemp, but I can use natural hemp, cotton cord, embroidery thread or narrow ribbon. It has a beautiful bright blue and gold, square glass bead!

I typically sell my stamped muslin bags for $5. Any ideas how much I should charge for these?

Back to the Winery Tomorrow!

Hopefully the weather will cooperate this week! I'm heading back out to the Florida Estates Winery again tomorrow with my teas and infusers. I've decided to  stick to teas and infusers, no more tea cup orphanage... It was fun and I did sell quite a few, but I want to concentrate on teas and brewing.

I did get some photos of my beaded infusers... I have a plate rack that I hang them on for display.

I also stamped unbleached muslin bags with waterproof ink and beaded the drawstrings to make reuseable tea bags!

I hung these on a cup rack. Pretty cool I think!

Here are some of the designs up close...

I'll be adding more designs and also making reuseable bags from batik fabric.
