Tea Time

My daughter, leah, (the world traveler) brought back some fancy tea from Denmark (?) a while back.  I finally got around to opening the pretty package and discovered another beautiful surprise inside the teacup!

  As the funny little tea packet was steeping in the cup of hot water it gradually began to expand.... opening into a beautiful flower shape!  The tea was jasmine and a bit too strong for me, but the flower was so artful that i had to snap a pic of it!

Well, i just went to the website on the tea tag (dreamawaytea.com) and i see that this tea was meant to be steeped in a POT of water, not a mug.  Oh well, it was still a nice surprise!  :-)
