Dryad Tea and Pottery

Bend Luck is finally up and available on the website! Woohooo!

TeaCember sale cut off is quickly approaching, can we sell out before that? They're going fast and you really should grab yours for the year! (Also, please share with your friends! We all need a little TeaCember love!)

Pippin wants to remind you that TeaCember boxes are live, and that you should pock one up if you haven’t already. They make amazing “slow down and breathe” gifts. 💚

Have you heard? SJ Tucker is going to be at the shop Sunday!!! Have you gotten your tickets yet? Can you share this post to get the word out? (This was the last time she was here! But this show's gonna be SOLO!) sjtucker.com/event/673993...

Tins are here! If you ordered a tea at Dragon Con, you should be seeing those shipping notifications in the next two days!! Thank you so much for your patience!

10 days until TeaCember goes live! (Yes, I'm going to keep reminding you!)

Working on getting more pottery ready for the website, but trying to take time to breathe and relax after Dragon Con. Phew! I love these dang tiny bats, and really want to get more into the shop!! What do you think? More bats?

Happy October! What's in your teacup today?

Discordia is the perfect tea for cooler days. I love it hot on those chilly fall days, the green tea blend always brings a smile to my face!

Our big conventions are over for the year, but that's okay! TeaCember drops in just about 2 weeks!! Have you gotten one before? Do you plan to get one this year?

Day 1 of Dragon Con is complete!!! The team is so excited to see you back the rest of the weekend 💚 Third floor of the Americas mart, booth 3113!

Here's hoping you roll a Nat 20 today! We're prepping for NDK in Denver, and Dragon Con in Atlanta! Phew!

I made strawberry and donut cups for Gen Con... should I make more for Dragon Con?

I think my favorite part of Gen Con this year was getting THIS amazing piece of art!!!! Not going to lie, almost cried happy tears. <3 Thank you again James!

It's Tuesday! Are you going to Dragon Con?

Did I take any booth pictures at Gen Con? Nope. But I did take this amazing sunset shot! That's almost as good, right?

Happy Gen Con, everyone! We’re trying something a little different this year and posting the tea online for everyone who is unable to make it! It’s live now! Make sure to go get yours before they go poof!

Gen Con prep continues! Bringing lots of pins with us, as always! Not attending Gen Con? Don't worry, you can still shop with us online!

Making trivets as we prep for the last two big conventions of the year. Trying to create stock, but as always that is proving to be difficult! When you all need to buckle down, how do you do it? Especially if you're adhd+?

After a great weekend at SoonerCon we are now turning our eyes forward to Gen Con! If you want to order for pickup at the convention use: "Gen26". This is ONLY for pickup at the con! We will secure your teas and bring them with us!

Today's Tea Tuesday: Ravens in the Library This is a long time fan favorite, our take on a Lady Grey Tea. Inspired by the song sung by SJ Tucker, the jasmine flowers in this blend were my homage to the pages of the many books found in a library.

Thank you so everyone that came out to see us at Fan Expo Denver! It was a great 4 days and we look forward to seeing all of you again in July of next year! Up next: SoonerCon in Oklahoma!

Starting TOMORROW! We'll be at booth 360! Come see us for all of your tea needs.

It’s Memorial Day! No mail today and we’re taking a much needed gardening day. I love my roses and they have been very neglected due to our busy May. Thursday starts Fan Expo Denver! We hope to see you there! 💚

Did you know? Dryad Tea is 2-3 people behind the scenes! Knight & Rubiee are the Monday-Friday crew and Del is Friday backup. This means our processing time might run a bit long, we are working on getting that under control. I appreciate everyone’s patience & desire to support a small business 💚

Thank you Chicago and ACen! We’re really hoping to be back in 2027, back in a larger space! Until then please continue to visit us online! 💚

Not a bad set up for 1/2 of our normal space. Talk about working with what you’ve got! 💚 ACen 2025 - booth 811

In less than ten days! Stop by to see my pottery offerings in Aurora! Planters, plates, mugs, cups, flower and mushroom plant stakes and more!

This weekend! Chicago! We're coming for you! Who will we see there?

This weekend! Well, technically starting in 2 days! Come see art by amazing artists! I'll have tea and tea accessories available, so stop by, pick up some tea and some pottery and enjoy a great spring weekend!

Having community is so important to me, when I get to spend time with that community it warms my heart. Behind the scenes it's two of us at the shop, and that can get pretty lonely. If you see me at a con say hi! Interactions help me feel less isolated in off season times. <3

Another fan Photo Friday! This one is from Gingy in our Discord!

Our skull spoon inventory is getting low, and I probably won't restock. So if you were looking for a spoon of your very own, now is the time!

May is shaping up to be BUSY! Lots of local Colorado events, but we'll also be back in Chicago for ACen! Come see us!

Sometimes running a small biz means somehow changing ALL of the pricing to wholesale for a whole month, & having no clue. (I know. I should have been more on it. I don't need lectures right now) THEN giving 20% off that for my birthday. I don't want to look at how much I lost this month. BRB crying.

Fan share Friday! How awesome is this photo by Rachel T from our Discord? Wildflower Whimsy iced for a hot day!

Happy to share that more ghos-teas are in the works! Is there a certain color you'd like to see?

Another Tea Tuesday, and another cold tea suggestion. I was NOT convinced about trying Chemical Worker's Tea cold until a friend made it for me. I instantly fell in love. The smokiness of the Lapsang is more of an aroma than a taste on the tongue, which makes it perfect for me!

Took this photo on our return from Detroit, perfect for today as I thank you for being part of my life. Dryad would not be what it is without you, *I* would not be who I am without every experience I've had meeting so many of you, chatting with you on socials, discord, Twitch. Today I am grateful.

It's TODAY!!!! My birthday!!! Yaaaay! Now I get to give all of you gifts! Please join me in celebrating, and get you some tea!

It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm giving the gifts! Please join me to celebrate another turn around the sun!

Tea Tuesday! Cold brewing tea has become my go to recently. With temperatures being warmer than usual recently I've needed a cool off! Bob the Skull has become a big favorite of mine to cold brew!

“Dear Shop Owners, It is with deep regret that we write to inform you that Painted Tree Boutiques has made the very difficult decision to cease all business operations today; Painted Tree will not be conducting any further retail sales at any location.”

It's that time again! The reoccurring battle or green or black tea! Let me know in the comments which you prefer (and yes, voting caffeine free is acceptable too!)

Happy to report there is some pottery on the website! D1scord got first dibs (you should join us!) but there are still plenty of stunning pieces available to take home with you!

We returned NCECA and had to say goodbye to Caspian, so we are a bit behind on orders. Hoping to be back to normal by early next week. Until then, here's a photo of the sunrise from my hotel in Detroit. That's Canada across the water. (Yes, I said good morning to Canada every day.) Thank you all.

Off to NCECA! Thank you for your patience while Knight and I travel to our yearly Ceramics "Trade Show" where I get to learn lots of new stuff and shop for lots of new supplies! All outstanding orders will begin shipping when we return on 3/31!

Tomorrow come see us at Colorado Anime Fest! Come get your Colorado tea restock! You know you need more tea.

Will we see you this weekend at Colorado Anime Fest? I sure hope so!

It's Friday! Happy Friday, Teaflings! What's in your tea cup today?
