Victorian Tea Barbie was an Avon-exclusive Barbie themed around, well, a Victorian-era Barbie having tea. However, this was not the only Barbie that Mattel used the phrase "Victorian Tea" for.

The Victorian Tea Porcelain Collection Barbies were two Barbies from the late 1990s depicting rather more elaborate Victorian-era fashion - and, of course, tea.

The two dolls in the collection were Orange Pekoe and Mint Memories.

I can't speak to exactly how accurate these fashions are, but they certainly look a lot more detailed and, well, less cheap than the Avon collaboration. Plus, as with all Barbies in the Porcelain collection, they came with absolutely beautiful box art.

Interestingly, the special care instructions enclosed with Mint Memories proclaimed that she was the first porcelain Barbie to have a moveable head so she could be posed with different "attitudes".

It also details that the teacup contains 22 karat gold paint and that, although her hand is posed to balance the teacup, they recommend adhering the cup and saucer to her hand with adhesive.

I've always been a tea person, and have been trying to branch out in terms of black tea. What I've learned is that expensive grocery store or otherwise readily available locally black tea is always worse than cheap grocery store black tea. If you buy a $16 box of black tea with like 8 tea bags in it, it'll probably be so weak that you feel like you're drinking milky water, and you'll pine for the $5 actually strong enough to taste and enjoy Red Rose or Tetley or whatever.

Upon further inspection...

[proteusolm]

I've been grumbling for days because I bought English breakfast tea from the brand Tazo and it is the weakest black tea I have ever encountered. I feel like I'm drinking milk water with the faintest whisper of tea. I've taken to using two tea bags and steeping it for longer than usual and it barely made a difference. I forgot the two tea bags in for an hour and they're so weak that the tea didn't even get a bitter, tannin taste like normal. It was still weak. This is so much worse than like every other brand available at the grocery store yet costs significantly more. An enemy has been made of me. I think they sold me tea bags full of paper with one molecule of tea leaf.
