Each preparation of the leaves has its individuality,
its special affinity with water and heat,
its own method of telling a story,
the truly beautiful must always be in it.

What a perfect quote! And a beautiful still life, too, Marilyn!
ReplyDeleteWell that beautiful quote certainly rules out throwing a tea bag in a mug and hoping for a good cuppa in no time flat! Oh the lovely teapots - the pink transferware one is such a gorgeous shape - is it vintage Marilyn?
ReplyDeleteSipping coffee right now but promise to make up a pot of good tea this afternoon!
Love, Mary
