flower tea

a friend sent me some flowering teas

this is what they look like before steeping:

in the package is an assortment of four flowering teas from Numi Tea

dragon lily

flower jewel

emerald sun

&

midnight peony

the one I chose for today is "flower jewel"

it's a White Tea scented with jasmine and amaranth flower

I'm drinking it now - and it's really quite delicious

very grassy like a green tea - but flowery too - it's nice

I thought you might like to see some more flowers

... flowers of the garden variety

:)

it's beginning to feel like summer around here

I really felt it when I said, "not until you've had your breakfast, made your bed and gotten dressed."

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Oh, Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/george_gershwin/summertime.html ]
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But until that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy standing by

- George Gershwin
