Four O’Clock! Tea Time!

One of my favorite things about being home is having an almost daily afternoon tea party, especially as it’s getting cooler. Between 3-4pm my mom, sister or I heats up the kettle and someone selects one of the Lupicia tea samples I brought home. Each sample is a perfect amount to brew one pot, and we’ve been using the Japanese tea pots I sent my mom and sister last Christmas to try the vanilla black tea, paradise green tea, Chinese tea (from Hannie’s Chinese friends, not Lupicia) and Grenada black tea (served above with honey-sesame cashews from Trader Joe’s). Tea time is one of my favorite times of day!
