Last Saturday I was invited to a very special tea.
Stephanie of Steph's Cup of Tea invited four of us to have tea.
It wasn't just regular tea, but East Frisian tea from Germany.
What a treat!
First you put rock candy in the cup, then Stephanie poured tea from a special white teapot, and finally we dropped rich cream on the top served from a special spoon just for serving the cream.
It was so yummy, like a special dessert.
The special tea, special friendships, little cakes and fruit
made for an extra special day.
You see Stephanie in the picture demonstrating how we set up for another tea ceremony,
a WuWo tea ceremony.
Check out the give-away I mentioned yesterday,
the drawing is Monday morning.

LOVE the photo collage and I immediately thought Hey, there's Steph! How wonderful that two of my favorite bloggers got to enjoy such a fine time together!
Looks like you all had fun! I don't know much about Asian tea and nothing about East Frisian tea!
Rock Candy and cream? Definitely a dessert tea. Sounds luscious.
How beautiful and delightful
Have you ever tried the blossoming teas?
They are gorgeous too
Love you

This is a new one to me and sounds very interesting! Glad you enjoyed.
Bob returned from England yesterday (worked there for a week - sadly I couldn't go) and this afternoon we enjoyed tea in our gazebo. A pot of Earl Grey AND my favorite, a Victoria Sponge cake (buttercream and raspberry jam between the layers). He carried it home on the plane to surprise me!!
A beautiful gathering of friends for a new tea experience.
What fun and thanks for sharing. I am so glad that all of you could share a time of tea and friendship.

It sounds like the importance of taking tea...is just taking the time to be in the moment. To take a breath and enjoy living in a small cup of warmth. This sounds delicious and such a lovely way to spend a day.
Thank-you for the visit Marilyn.
How fascinating. I'd never heard of rock candy in tea. You have the loveliest friends.
Totally awesome! What a lovely tea. Stephanie has a Tuppence teapot --- I wonder where she got it?
Thank you so much for sharing!
