Today’s Sunday ritual tea is White Peony from TLeafT.
This is my ultimate luxury tea. Pale gold colour, delicate, subtle taste. Bone China is a must to drink it. Especially very fine bone china because the light shines through, and the tea glows. Today I chose my Peony cup to drink from.
Say, is there Beauty yet to find? And Certainty? and Quiet kind? Rupert Brooke (1887–1915
White tea is the Champagne of teas, once the sole property of the Chinese Emperors. Now it is a graceful way to start or end the day. C JoyBell’s quote captures the ethereal delicacy of white tea beautifully.
“The fragrance of white tea is the feeling of existing in the mists that float over waters; the scent of peony is the scent of the absence of negativity: a lack of confusion, doubt, and darkness; to smell a rose is to teach your soul to skip; a nut and a wood together is a walk over fallen Autumn leaves; the touch of jasmine is a night's dream under the nomad's moon.” ― C.
