tea + flowers = oh my god my brain just exploded from awesomeness

Want to sit in an English garden? Want to watch the curls of Lord Henry’s cigarette unfold? Want to watch Doherty poorly strumming guitar in a grassy field?

Well too bad, you live in Australia.

But what better way to transport your self into the Moors of Wuthering Heights than with a cup of tea, a certain sort of tea in particular. Practically the only liquid I have been consuming lately is an infusion that is made up of white tea (a tea traditionally sipped by Chinese royalty- win!), lavender blossoms, and rose petals (in equal proportions), and if you have the benefit of having a flower shaped tea cup you can really drink the nectar from the blossom.

So make a cup, read something of along the lines of The Happy Prince and for a moment pretend that you’re sitting under a tree with Wordsworth.

Despite my love for T2, it is a MASSIVE rip off. For all you tea fanatics, instead of buying the ridiculously expensive lotus balls or jasmine tea from there, go to one of the little Asian grocers on Illawarra road Marrickville. You can get a glass jar full of lotus balls for $12 and a bag of Green Jasmine tea the size of a pillow for $4 . It’s worth the trip.
