When I first bought my initial tea things from Jenny at Music City Tea I assumed there were at least a few others like her business, in the States, fast shipping, easy to access with questions, lightening fast email responses. I rather fear I took her for granted! You may say, 'Well, certainly you did not, Buddha-Mom, you wrote all about her and how much you appreciated her and so forth..." but I tell you true that it is only now, six months in to my tea obsession, (since I went full-time, and gave up on half-measures and part-time interests) that I recognize the rarity that is Music City Tea. Everything I have wanted and wanted fast, from tea-towels, to strainers, to gaiwans to my very large tea-table and more I found at Music City Tea.
Find them on their own website here, or on Amazon or Etsy.
I swear I think I ordered this little gaiwan and some tea towels two days ago at most and they are already here! This is a store in which you know the owner strives long days and into the nights to make things better for her customers. You can simply feel it.
Don't know what I am talking about? Well then, go order a little something from Jenny at MCT and you will know I am going on about. Makes me wonder what else Memphis might have to offer though I think I will stay right where I am in sunny Los Angeles!
