Tea Ceremony

I recently joined the tea club and purchased a set from China.  I had a little tea party and Josephine did the honors.

The narrow cups are used for smelling the tea and refills of the cups.

The tea came from Eileen from her recent trip to Taiwan.

The first pot of tea is for cleaning the instruments and the sniff test.  The second pot is tasted and refills are made after that.

The tea leaves expanded to fill the entire pot.

The tea party was a success!
