Epiphany



Twelfth night.
Normally I would take down the Yule tide decorations today but considering the deep white snow all around us and the still early darkness I will keep them up for a while longer.
We got a package from China and inside was Pu-er tea! Very special tea cakes, see above. Ours is just like the one here.
I cannot wait to try it, but first I want to get hold of a few implements in Chinatown either here or in London just to make the experience of Chinese tea more serene and pleasant. The tea will taste even better too.
A tea pot made of red clay, small bowls, perhaps a tray too...and a tea caddy to keep the tea in after it has been opened.
