Thank you, Kate for hosting the tea time Tuesday event. Ever since I started my blog here at blogspot, It was Kate who inspired me to the English tea world. I am truly fascinated by English tea traditions and history. I've been drinking black tea and absolutely enjoy it!! Please visit Kate's fabulous blog today!!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following tea time photos were taken last December at my dear friend's house during my visit to South Korea and I wanted to share these photos with you.
Bow of thanks before tea time has three meanings:1. Thankful for having some time for oneself.
2. Thankful to the host for the tea time.
3. Thankful to mother nature for providing the tea.
Asian tea cups are smaller than European tea cups, and also lack a handle. My friend, who is a tea master keeps tea ware on the tea table all year round, covers it with a cloth when not using it. After our dinner, we had a lot of tea. Our tea time ended up going past midnight!!! Since we only see each other once a year, we make up lost time, by having tea time.
