I'm certainly in need of my tea indulgence today...
...and it's nice to have it include lovely memories of my little French sojourn way back in March.
I found a delightful tea/coffee retailer in Chartres...
...who had a small range of locally-themed teas!
Today, I'm partaking of "Baiser de Chartres"....
...and considering the leaf is green and there are not a whole lot of obvious flowery or fruity additions....
...the flavour is simply sublime.
Full and flowery....
...and looking good in this tiny Japanese tea cup that I found in a shop called "KIMONOYA" in the Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe (Paris).
On the leaf is a little bamboo plate with a spoonful of a beadmix that I call "Byzantium".
It's for the "Magic Lantern" that I'm making for that Busy Bees workshop...
...more in a couple of days when I've finished it :-)
