Hello again, everyone! I’ve been working on a blog post about protagonists (specifically, female protagonists in YA), but for today, I have another Teatime Tuesday post to share.

This week, I had a special treat in the form of some lemon poppyseed tea cake from Wolferman’s, courtesy of my grandmother. It was dense and moist and surprisingly sweet–particularly the frosting, which I loved. (This cake did not last very long at my house!) I tend to be a chocoholic, but I really enjoy lighter flavors like lemon, especially during this time of year.

As for my tea, I’ve been hooked on Verdant’s Laoshan Autumn Green lately, which is probably my favorite green tea at the moment. (Verdant’s spring harvest teas will be coming in soon, though, so I may have some new favorites to share soon!)

I also have a bonus teatime picture to share, courtesy of my friend and former college roommate, who made Earl Grey cupcakes last week. (She even let me take some of them home!) They were light and spongy, and had Earl Grey buttercream frosting. Also featured in the photo is a Hufflepuff mug, purchased from our epic visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter a few years ago. (I have the matching Ravenclaw mug, of course!) We had Lavender Earl Grey tea from Rishi to go with the cupcakes.

Once again, thanks for joining me for tea!
