A linen tea towel may look beautiful, but is it any good to use?

A linen tea towel may look beautiful, but is it any good to use? I'm sure no one will dispute that a linen tea towel looks mighty fine hanging from it's place in your kitchen, but is it actually any good to use you might ask? 

We *might* be the wrong people to ask, as we do have a slight obsession with the luxe linen fabric but..  the answer is a big yes! 

A linen tea towel is soft enough to use on even your most precious glassware, sturdy enough that it will always outlast the chainstore tea towels your Nan bought you last Christmas, absorbent enough to hold up to 20% of it's own weight in liquid, it'll dry super fast annnnnd due to it's antibacterial properties it wont smell like a wet dog has wandered into your kitchen whilst it's drying on it's hook. 

Have we convinced you to give a linen tea towel a try yet? Yes? Good! Now what colour will you choose?
