Time for tea
After years of using teabags we have recently
started brewing tea from tea leaves and really
notice the difference in the flavour. At the moment
our favourite is Assam although our son likes
strawberry tea.

Two of my favorite things: tea and blue and white china. Tea brewed from leaves is superior, but those bags are so quick....

Lovely composition and colour, so the cold days will be warmer with a good cup of tea!

As one who doesn't drink coffee, I especially enjoy herb teas.

A beautiful composition Mairead - you've really caught the contrast between the blues and white so well, and the lighting is perfect...

I am not a tea drinker regularly but I love good tea when I do have it. I love fine china like this pot, I like my green tea gift from Chris Hadden ( brought with her from France ;) & I like Twinings Darjeeling, weak black with a slice of lemon.

I also love this shot.

Your patience waiting for the light is paying off.

tea is always a comfort..and yes tastier made with just the leaves....excellent compo and light, charming pot, and a touch of the exotic in that tin...V

Great shot...Really creative work.

Tea leaves are the way to go. I like oolong and jasmin myself. Very nice image with the blue and brown shades.

Yes I love my tea in leaves, I roam chineese shops in town to find the odd flavours. A few times get some rarety, that you can't get after ... pity those times. :)

A beautiful compositon, Mairead. The teapot is lovely! Such a pretty image! V

Beautiful lighting and image. The teapot is lovely! V

This is beautiful, Mairead! I love tea and have a collection of teapots. When my oldest grandbaby visits, he makes the rounds to see if any goodies are hidden inside the teapots. And to my mind... tea is best when served in a pretty teacup.
Dave Perez05-Sep-2009 13:06
Very nicely presented! The lighting and focus are superb on this shot! "V"

That is a beautiful teapot, you can't beat blue and white. Lovely light.
Hernan E. Enriquez05-Sep-2009 12:26
Beautiful image! I was raised with tea from leaves, so much better. Tea time was part of our culture in Chile.
pkocinski05-Sep-2009 12:20
Really nice job on this.
Neal Nye05-Sep-2009 11:38
The lighting reveals those shapes so nicely. What a thoroughly pleasing image!
