When I first had tea and biscuits together, I fully expected mile-high southern buttermilk biscuits and a glass of cold sweet tea, not cookies!Despite my initial chagrin, I have grown quite fond of having a few biscuits (the cookie kind) with my steeped loose tea, much to the dismay of my Southern friends. These biscuit tea anchors come in a variety of shapes and colors and include a detachable stainless-steel tea ball. Biscuit anchors will vary in width from 1 to 2 inches and in length from 1 to 2 inches. As each of these is handmade, there may be slight imperfections, which, in my opinion, only add to their beauty.
Tea Anchors
Growing up in the Deep South, the only tea most of us were familiar with was the sweet kind. We usually made it with Lipton tea bags, and I could never really taste anything other than the sugar. I discovered the flavorful world of loose teas only a few years ago. I drink a cup of loose tea at the end of a long, stressful workday—usually with some Indian or Pakistani masala, and a dash of almond milk. While I love to brew my tea using a tea ball, I hate when the dangly chain ends up inside the tea. Specifically, I made these ceramic tea anchors to keep things in their designated places. Spiritually, this collection of anchors reflects a desire to stay attached and grounded to the earth, my community, and my home. Handmade from sturdy stoneware and twice fired, these tea anchors come with a detachable stainless steel tea ball and are ready to brew you a perfect cup of tea. As with everything you will find here, from shaping and glazing to firing, these ceramic anchors are handmade in my home studio, one at a time.
