Rose teacup and matcha

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a church yard sale. They didn't have vintage bone china teacups or teapots. But my eagle eyes spotted this mini teapot decorated with roses.

 

The teacup was originally a candle holder, but I thought it was perfect for my tea-themed Christmas tree!

 

A new cafe that sold matcha lattes recently opened near my parents' place. I tried out their iced Rose Garden Matcha latte which is only available in September. I really enjoyed the floral and creamy taste and hope they'll offer it again!
