Feng surprised me with a gift last sunday..
A teapot set!!!
Yes - again.
My 2nd tea set from him.
It caught my attention the first time I saw it.
A transparent teapot sitting on a transparent tealight burner.
I didnt expect Feng to get it for me..
It doesn't come with teacups.
He bought them seperately- 2 of them.
Do u notice that the teacup is double layered?
As in, the tea only occupies the upper half of the cup?
Soo pretty and special!
By the way, I brewed berries tea..
With berries and blue hibiscus petals..
I added honey to musk the sour taste of it,
but its still a lil' sour for him..
lurve the red.

I brewed rose bud tea the next day..
Added lemon verbena tea leaves as well..
it's a type of leaves that gives off a real nice sweet citrusy fragrant
when you rub the leaves between your fingers...
it aids in digestion i think...
and rose tea has a calming effect over you..
I added brown sugar..
It's lighter than the berries tea..
After receiving the tea set,
it has always been in my living room..
I'll brew it from the evening, right till the middle of the night..
And the 4 of us drink it.. ( My parents and us)
Feng says the rose tea is refreshing..
The rose buds can be eaten as well!

Another use of rose is to mix the rose petals with your mask,
before applying it on your face..
My colleage told mi abt this..
I dunno what properties the rose bud has,
but it's worth trying!
Especially with an essential oil burning in the room..
Who needs to go to a spa?!

Small little enjoyment like this cheers me up!
But i can't seemed to find someone who enjoys tea like me.. =(
(Tho he claims he enjoys tea, i know he is still a coffee lover..)

Looks like I have to enjoy drinking tea all by myself...
I guess it doesn't matter..
Looking at the serenity of the tealight,
the colour of the tea slowly evolving into a richer hue...
the small clouds of smoke that floats into the air...
Having some quiet time by myself is not a bad idea after all!
