I'm stitching handfasting cloths for a niece's wedding. I've tea stained to antique cloths before with black tea, but I am curious if any of you have experience with fruit teas or green tea. Any pointers or preferences?
Tea Staining a Cloth

Well one of the handfasting cloths will have the Tree of Life on it, and I thought green tea would stain the linen in a nice greenish-gold hue. The other is a Celtic bird symbol I am dying (no pun intended) to try a blueberry tea on, because the birds are royal blue.
