Another quick post for Teatime Tuesday! I shared a pot of tea with my sister today. We used her new tea set, which she purchased a few weeks ago from Modcloth. It’s small and shiny and completely adorable.

For our tea, we shared a flavored black tea called Hua Ki, which was blended by a Japanese tea company called Lupicia. They make delicious teas, especially the fruit-flavored ones. This particular tea is a Hawaiian-inspired blend, and it’s flavored with apple, mango, papaya, pineapple, and cranberry—among other things! Despite the complexity of this tea, it has a really satisfying and balanced tropical taste.

And now I will leave you with a photo of the reason my sister was so drawn to her new tea set… Her sweetheart of a cat, Julian. (Who, I am honored to say, was named after her favorite character from one of my stories.)

Thanks for joining us for tea!
