I just discovered / made myself the most delicous tea - a mixture of dried chyrsanthemum flower (from Chinatown - waaaay cheaper!) and spearmint. I put honey in it. I have a tetsubin, on of those cool looking iron teapots from japan - this one looks like a bumpy flying saucer - thier are really beautuful. And i have this little metal candle holder, but the glass part is gone - I *goes with* the testubin - just by chance, & I can it on top of the candle holder - and heres the fun part - I can put a little tea-candle under this nice teapot, and it keeps the tea at just the right temperature - doesn't get burned, doesn't get cool. I like hanging out in my room!
That sounds wonderful ! I have a 100 year old english tea pot that I use and am quite fond of. It's stained and looks nasty inside, but makes the best tea ! Peace and Love!
