Well that was a bust. ❄️ We’re 3 cups in waiting for the flakes to pile up. So much for the snow storm we’re supposed to have in DC. 🤷🏼‍♀️ oh well... the only thing left to do is just fire up the kettle and sip another few cuppas on this day off. 🍵 If you have a “tea emergency” you can find us tomorrow in Bethesda or order online!

If you live in DC there’s truly no better place for a Gluten Free Bagel then here. Best we ever had. (And not just because they carry our teas.) Our obsession started before we collaborated. They are located in a cute space in Adams Morgan NW. Good bagel with Good tea? #winning . #goodtea #glutenfreebagel #pearlfineteas #risebakery #smallbusiness #microbusiness #washingtondc #eatdc #tea #teatime #shoplocal #shopsmall #drinkmoretea . . #Repost @risebakerygf with @make_repost ・・・ Snow is on the horizon 👀. Our loose leaf teas are the perfect warm treat for your body on these cold winters days ❄️! Our teas are from the best local tea shop around @pearlfineteas ❤️.
It’s gonna be a good day. #matcha #goodtea #uji #ceremonialmatcha #greentea #pearlfineteas #finetealady #antioxidants #polyphenols #catechins #ltheanine #japanesetea #teasofinstagram #onlythebest #hotteamonth #teainDC #tea #teatime #dailytea #washingtondc
For #teacuptuesday we brought out a pair of porcelain teacups we found in an old antique shop near the Sorbonne area of Paris. It was a delightfully drizzly day and we just stumbled upon the shop which was jam packed with treasures. The year was 1999 way before Pearl Fine Teas was born but there were clear signs and foreshadowing happening. There was no hesitation in deciding whether or not to purchase this pair which wasn’t inexpensive. They were paid for in French Francs, wrapped like precious cargo and then traveled back to Washington DC to live. They are the perfect shade of pale blue and pale yellow. Some research points to these being created from 1900-1910 in Germany. You can still clearly see the “Silesia” mark on the bottom. Both of these are the thinnest porcelain you can imagine. So thin and delicate you can almost see through them. They also are very tiny and hold only a ½ cup of liquid exactly. The perfect amount actually! The history of this pair is unknown to us but we wonder... how did it find it’s way from Germany to Paris? Was it carried across the border during one of the wars? Was it a gift from a soldier to a loved one? Was it a socialite who traveled? A German native living in occupied France? A Polish National who first escaped Germany landing in Paris before the war commenced? And how did it end up in that tiny crammed shop? We think of these things as we sit and enjoy tea in something that was clearly collected and loved long ago, but still lives on. We will remain it’s caretaker until the end. Do you have teacups with stories? Tag us so we can see yours! #teacup #teacups #antiqueteacup #paris #germany #silesia #silesiachina #pearlfineteas #travel #collector #tea #teatime #teacupsofinstagram #tealove #porcelain #hottea #drinkmoretea #goodtea #hotteamonth #teaaddict #tealife #allthingstea #ilovetea #dailytea
Our obsession with white teacups continues. Anyone else have this problem? . #teacup #whiteteacup #monday #teatime #pearlfineteas #tea #teacupcollector #teacureseverything #finetea #finetealady #drinkmoretea #blacktea #ceylontea #hottea #nationalhotteamonth
We’re switching it up for our winter markets. You’ll now be able to choose from a menu of teas to go. In season we typically offer 2 (caffeinated and herbal) but during slower times we can make a cuppa to order. The menu will change each week so you can try things you’ve not had before. Our water is always triple filtered and calibrated for DC water which means every cup of tea whether hot or iced is virtually chemical free. And our cups and lids are compostable. We don’t mess around when it comes to good tea! @centralfarmmarkets @oldtownfarmersmarketalx . playtowin #goodtea #finetea #pearlfineteas #teainDC #DMVfarmersmarkets #teacureseverything #teatime @tea #tealove #teamaster #drinkmoretea #365daysoftea #teamenu #bestteaindmv #sipteafeelgood #hottea #hotteamonth
