The post title, Toaster and Coaster, is a play with words. The photo below of TeaParty.nu tile coaster is taken with Instagram‘s toaster filter.
@TeaPartyNu tile coaster & Namdang tea #teaFTW
Talking about similar sounding words (toast and coast), I am looking forward to make a toast (in Gothenburg, on the west coast of Sweden) to the Sons and Daughters of Liberty on December 16. For your information, I had to pay SEK 305 in customs duty for importing TeaParty.nu gear (including the tile coaster). Is it time to protest against different regulations, like the Tea Act?
I want to remind you of TeaParty.nu’s first Blog Carnival on December 17. Please go to our page on BlogCarnival.com and submit your entry.

We are preparing for the Boston TeaParty.nu on December 16 in Gothenburg city. Please stay tuned for an invitation via email, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.

The tea party will start at 6 PM CET with a welcome drink (“sparkling tea”) and time for social intercourse (mingle). Around 6:30 PM, we will make a toast to the Sons and Daughters of Liberty.
Since women often purchased consumer goods for the home, the Daughters of Liberty became instrumental in upholding the boycott, particularly where tea was concerned.

After the toast we will talk about the historical event in Boston and then we will have our own version of “afternoon” (high) tea with a mix of scones, tea sandwiches and Xmas treats, e.g., ginger biscuits. During eating and talking, you will have the opportunity to participate in a fun quiz about Boston and tea. The winners will win tea related prizes.
Martin Lindeskog with TeaParty.nu cap
At 7:30 PM we will announce the winners of the quiz and tell you about our plans for future events. We will then end the tea party and continue the partying at some other place, e.g. a beer cellar, drinking (Samuel Adams) beer…
Have you tested to add a splash of Unicum into a cup of tea?

This “tea 5 3″ post is a tribute to Victor Borge and his invention called, Inflationary Language.
How about having a tea for two party with a friend, kindred spirit or partner, listening to Victor Borge’s & Dean Martin’s Musical Phonetic Punctuation:

Do you have a favorite Halloween tea drink? In the video clip (with a glow filter screen), I am drinking Yunnan tea with a splash of Unicum. Have you had a Moscow mule or Shanghai green tea drink with Smirnoff vodka? Time for a tea partay? 
Two years ago, I wrote the post, Crush It Book and Tea Time, and in 2010, I published Feeling Alive During Halloween.
I recently attended a house-warming party. They didn’t serve tea, so I had to drink hard cider…

Have you had raw tea or twisted tea?
From Christian Chensvold’s post, Smirnoff’s “Tea Partay” and the Birth of Viral Marketing Video:
Yahoo! Advertising Blog: “Tea Partay” is considered perhaps the first ad to be a huge hit on viral video sites.
Kevin Roddy: Yes, it was one of the first true experiments in this space. It used YouTube in a way it really hadn’t been used before. It hit a million people in three or four days, which was massive at the time. When we finished it, we wanted to control the distribution, but it somehow leaked out onto YouTube, and to this day I don’t know how. It wasn’t something we meant to do. Somebody posted it…I don’t who it was, and it just exploded.
YAB: So the viral aspect phenomenon wasn’t even planned?
KR: It was not. At the end of the spot, it says “Go to teapartay.com, playa,” and the website wasn’t even live. So all those millions of people who went to the site, there wasn’t even anything there yet. That’s how unprepared we were.

I created a Martini drink in 2005 called Persian Lime Martin(i). Here is a Green Tea Martini drink recipe (Tea A Magazine, summer 2011) by Cynthia Gold:
- 2 ounces Green Tea Vodka
- 1/2 ounce peach schnapps
- 1 dried peach / apricot, or 1 teaspoon dried cranberries, for garnish
- Shake the vodka and peach schnapps vigorously in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with the dried fruit.
