Tea on Tuesday



My tea today is Globe Amaranth. It might be a Numi tea, but I'm not sure- the original packaging is long gone!!!

I love these flower teas tho'! It starts out as a dried and tightly bound ball, drop it in the infuser, and let it steep. I wish I had time lapse photography, to show it slowly blossoming!! This tea will last me thru the day. It's delicious cold too!!

When I have lunch, I have some with a salad. I discovered these wonderful walnuts to put on salads- or just eat straight out of the bag!!!! A bit pricey for the size of the bag - but mmmmmmmmmmm, they are goooood!!!!

Would love to chat more, but have to get outside and get busy, before it starts to rain....

Enjoy your day, please join us for tea, and drop in on Kimmie or Patty, for a list of all the Tea on Tuesday participants!
(Oh, and drop in on this blog, for a peek at this cute little infuser she discovered at Ross!!!)

    Love the closeup (I clicked) of your blooming tea pot! Kimmie's dragon pearls give a little show too while they are opening!
    I hopped over to check out the tea infuser and thought "baby rattle" right away too! The Martha Stewart Earl Grey Tea cookies she made sure sound good!
    Happy T Tuesday my friend!

    I too love the way tea leaves unfold slowly to the heat of the water, releasing its essence, filling the space with fragrance to breath in.
    A day without tea is like a day without sunshine.

    Enjoy the moment,

    I bought one of those teapots for my dil along with some flowering tea. So awsome, I hate to drink it and ruin the effect of the blossom.

    Aren't those the best teapots ever?! The taste of flowery tea is so mellow and delicious...love those glass teapots, too!

    God bless,

    I'm very late to this tea party, and your new one hasn't started. Your tea sounds interesting...intriguing.

    I also checked out all your completed projects. You are on a roll! I love them all!
