Russian Tea Cup

This tea cup is from Russian and indicative of traditional Russian china. The Teapot that matches this pattern is beautiful.
Suggested tea: Czar Nicholas Imperial, which is a vodka grapefruit tea, or else my least favorite tea in the world, Russian caravan, which is a smoky tea, just slightly less smokey that lapsang soo chong, which quite frankly tastes like fireplace ashes.

63 Teacups

I have finally re-photographed ALL of my teacups.... and I officially have 63... not counting the duplicates, of which I have 3 extra... so I suppose if you count those, I have 66...
I shall now begin the arduous process of the "teacup a day"... I am sure droves of onlooker in eager anticipation of this event...
Today's teacup of the day is "Royal Standard. I do not know the pattern, but it is quite lovely.
Tea Suggestion: Plantation Mint.

Drink Me.

The weather finally has a chill in it... at least at night it does... and it's time for Tea.
Iit makes me want to put a presto log in the fireplace, grab a fantastic book, and make some lavender shortbread and a cup of tea...

Tea and work

Mike bought me a pirate teacup for the start of school... it does not have a skull on it or anything like that, but it does look like a mug a pirate would drink from.  It looks like a big squared footed teacup with a flat black glaze on the outside and a cracked, shiny red glaze on the inside.

I have been on time to work every day since school started... I get here, do my supervision, grab an abandoned mike from the dining hall, make caramel truffle tea, then off to do some menial job in the office... What I'm getting to is this... Tea is the best part of my day... how sad.

I found the missing teacups!  I just need to photograph them.  I also have a recent tea acquisition... including a fancy princess Margaret teacup, and one from Russia.

The design for the pirate tea is still on my to do list... bother.

Arrr!

I really wish Adagio would get in a new supply of Assam Melody so we could order our tea! Arrrrr.

That is all.

And the answer is...

Adagio is currently out of Assam Melody, which why we can order our tea yet. As soon as they get a new shipment, we're good to go.

And I'm a little too excited about the label. And hell no, I'm not making a video on my own. Although I could try to put an eyepatch on the cat and make that the video. There will be blood.
