I've given several pieces of birthday cake away, and I'm hoping at least a few of you will take a piece, too. However, the tea I'll save for myself. On the left, are some lovely tea "pearls" that blossom when infused. I got them from Cath in Cyprus when she sent her color swap pages to me. I also got these tea bags from my friend Halle as part of a birthday gift.
I also got the most beautiful handmade card from Annette. Lots of chipboard and embossing powder turned the letters into a beautiful sentiment. And the card with the tea pitcher and cup are from Patty S, who is now on her way across the pond. And there is even a bag of tea as part of the gift and card. Love it!
And here is a bit about the blossoms. They should be served in a clear glass (they suggest a wine glass), so you can see them better when they open.
And this is the name of the tea house where they came from.So I hope you have some cake with me today, and visit Kimmie for the links to all my other Tea Tuesday friends and participants. And since I'm wide awake, I might as well go to Kimmie's right now and join in on the fun of the day. Then maybe I'll try to get some sleep.

It is so much fun to see and read about the different teas you try. I have some tea "blossoms" that I use in a glass pot. Pretty.
