Teacup Tuesday


Teacup Tuesday is hosted every week by Martha and Teri.
Be sure to visit to see all the teacups on parade!

If you've been visiting with me for any length of time, this may look familiar to you.
Mr. Dragon and I enjoy visiting The Path of Tea.
You pick the cup you'd like to drink your tea from and have a delicious goody, too.
My favorite is the Owl cup.
(Yes, I collect Owls and I'm thinking I collect too many things!)





The owner of The Path of Tea tells a story about a woman who would visit the shop almost everyday when she first opened and would ask if she could buy the Owl tea cup. The owner would tell her No, that she couldn't sell her cups or she would soon have no cups for her customers to drink from and the Owls were particularly difficult to come by.
The woman kept coming in, asking and making offers, until one day she came in and made an offer that the shop owner couldn't refuse!

Along came Christmas, and you can imagine my surprise when I opened the package and found this:





Mr. Dragon found an Owl teapot and tea cups that look exactly like the ones at




The teapot comes with a strainer.




Isn't the Owl cute?!

No wonder I think Mr. Dragon is my Knight in Shining Armor!
We both smile and chuckle when we have tea from this set.

Yes, we still visit The Path of Tea and we need to return soon.
They now have origami lessons once a week!

Wishing you well!

My World

Visit My World to see more of our world or to participate yourself!

Today I'm taking you to The Path of Tea.




You can see all the teapots in the window.
They were everywhere inside.




This is the sniffing bar.
133 organic teas to pick from.



You pick the tea cup you wish to drink from.



Here's Mr. Dragon with his red velvet cupcake.
We need to go back to more pictures of the TEA!
We had such a good time, we forgot all about the camera!


They had wonderful goodies to pick from.
Here's my cupcake.
Several bars and cookies were made with tea.
We picked a green tea called Jasmine Dragon Pearl.

The girls had a black tea flavored with Lychee.

What made this tea drinking special were our two guests.
The one on the left is the curator for Asian Art at the museum.
The one on the right used to be her assistant, Vivian.
Vivian may look familiar to those of you who have followed me for awhile.
Vivian went temple trekking with us before she went to China to study.
Now she's off to Michigan to work on her Ph.D.
This was a farewell and good luck tea.
