Bloomin' Winter Fantasy

A friend of mine gave me a special kind of blooming tea.  I had never heard of it before but it turned out great!  It was called Winter Fantasy and it came in a package looking like a giant dried seed:

  The brochure described the ingredients as jasmine green tea, chrysanthemum and jasmine flowers; the functions as reduces internal heat and cleanses grease and impurities; and the personality as hardworking, smart, sensitive and loyal.  We enjoyed a few laughs about some of this!

 The instructions were simple.  Place in boiling water for 10 minutes, watching carefully.




So that's what we did.  Watch carefully now.

Isn't that cool?  A flower blooms - a winter fantasy in my very own dining room!

We enjoyed a lovely cup o' tay after our corn chowder and quiche luncheon! 
The above picture makes a lovely background for your computer so feel free to use it if you like. (right click on the picture and you should get an option that says "set as desktop background" or something like that.)



We'll have to have another lunch date soon - I have one more tea seed left!
