A Celebration of Tea
Talented, imaginative, artsy, crafty, and humorous wildsherkin from Sherkin Island, Ireland keeps inspiring me. Today, I found a post of a lovely, hand-knitted tea cozy on her blog. It reminded me of my own hand-made tea cozies with embroidered fobs. So these photos are dedicated to wildsherkin and to the celebration of tea.
These photos below of camellia sinensis (tea plants) where taken at The Charleston Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw Island, SC, America’s only tea garden.
For those of you who love hot masala tea (Indian spice tea or chai), please see my previous post for a recipe.
What a lovely surprise and thank you for those kind words! Your own cosies/cozies are gorgeous. P
Thanks, Patsy! There will be another post linking to one of yours coming soon. 🙂
Nice photos. I’m not generally one to use tea cosies, as I don’t like to hide the natural beauty of the ceramic and clay pots I have. I prefer to let it steep for a while, then top up with hot water.
Genmaicha (japanese rice tea) is my favourite currently for afternoon breaks.
Thank you, Lignum Draco! I purchased some Genmaicha at the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and like it very much. Another favorite of mine is Guan Yin tea. 🙂
