Christmas Tea Ceremony









I received a gift of
a teapot and tea
from
Jenn
for christmas.











What a great name
for the tea.



















You begin by placing
the pot on a flat disc
which prevents the water from
escaping while the
tea is brewing.
Pour boiling water
gently over tea leaves
which will float freely
while brewing.





After tea is brewed
place pot over tea cup.
The cup will push up
another disc
and tea will flow into cup.
Pick up the pot and
the tea immediately
stops flowing.




I don't normally use sugar in my tea
but the gift included this bag
of rock sugar.






I put just a couple of the
little pebbles
in my cup.



The tea was perfectly brewed
and delicious.
I look forward to sharing
this tea with a friend.
Thank you Jenn.
