The tea is Whittard 1886 Blend, black leaf tea, and is described on the package as "strong traditional". It certainly is strong and traditional. I like this tea. It's not at all bitter and has no aftertaste. Just a smooth, hearty tea. It was a gift from The Daughter, who knows we like such things.
The cup is quite large and is the Belvedere pattern fromWilliams-Sonoma. I have another cup and saucer in this pattern in blue.

I'm a BIG fan of black tea. It has more caffeine, something I must have in large quantifies. Yep, I realize it's a drug, but at least it's legal (grin).
ReplyDeleteThat cup is very pretty, too. It seems you have a cup collection that would rival with many.
