Tea Pouches

Several months ago, I purchased these beautiful zippered pouches from a local handmade store.

 

 
I just couldn't resist the gorgeous tea design!
 
 
The pouches are big enough to store teabags and loose leaf teas while travelling.
 
How would you use the pouches?

In honour of St. Patrick's Day (March 17th), I'm sharing this vintage Queen Anne teacup (circa 1960s) decorated with yellow flowers and green clovers.

 

 
Of course, I'm sipping Irish Breakfast in this charming teacup!

 Last weekend, I enjoyed a unique "High Tea" at Secco, a prosecco bar.

After our tea, the server surprised us with an Ube Crème Brûlée as a birthday treat!

I loved the delicious Asian infusion afternoon tea experience and would definitely go back!
