KUSMI tea – stylist's treat
by homeshoppingspy • Thursday, October 8, 2009 • Food, Stylish shopping • 10 Comments
Yesterday I popped into Mitsukoshi on London’s Regent Street to pick up some pretty origami papers and a tin of my favourite Kusmi tea. The tea is delicious, of course. But the real treat is the tin…
This is author and stylist Selina Lake’s kitchen – she’s clearly a Kusmi fan – and no issue of Livingetc magazine is complete without a Kusmi Tea tin prop in at least one photo shoot. The brand was founded in 1867, and today has over 700 followers on Twitter – it’s thriving!
With Baroque-style funky-coloured tins, and delicious tea, it’s no wonder the Kusmi Tea collection is considered a style statement all over the world.
Last night I went to the launch party of a new Homesense store in north London. We were taken there on a vintage Routemaster bus, sipping champagne – it was all very decadent! I have to say that I was REALLY impressed. I’ve never been to Homesense before, and I was kind of expecting it to be a bit like TK Maxx, but it was much better. There was loads of really beautiful furniture at tiny prices – I bought a fantastic, retro anglepoise chrome floor lamp for £69.99. I’ve just found the same model online for £225, so I’m pretty chuffed with my bargain buy! I also spotted Missoni blankets and Cath Kidston bedding at low, low prices so I’ll be back! – Ellie

Aren’t the tins just so pretty! I love these teas, we picked up a whole bunch in Paris last May, my favourite is Prince Vladimir the black tea flavoured with citrus, vanilla and spices.
Just right for chilly Autumn evenings.

the tea tins are as beautiful as the tea is delicious. i’ve become completely obsessed since discovering kusmi at a small boutique in the US called Flora and Henri (online as well). i’m especially in love with the petrushka. in fact, i must go make a cup now.
thanks for all the design inspiration.
