Mortar & Pestle Tea



A bit of fragrance always 
clings to the hand 
that gives roses.



And the fragrance of tea in a rose covered teacup is good in the hand as well. Tea today is Lavender Grey black tea from B. Fuller's Mortar & Pestle, a place that they call an artisanal modern apothecary. It was a gift from a friend who knows I love anything lavender! They describe this tea as having the orange essence of Earl Grey which is augmented by the floral sweetness of Pacific Northwest lavender flowers. 

And the teacup? It is a Royal Stafford English teacup called Gloria. Paisley style curls and flowers in bright yellow and pink are accented with lots of gold!  

The June chill outside seems to draw me to  the vibrant colors of my teacup. Last night was breezy with sprinkles of rain and dark clouds. Unfortunately the "honey moon" was not visible from my house.
