The Rose

Last month, I was thrilled to be gifted 8 (!!!) vintage teacups and a tea set from a friend. She had inherited a large collection of teawares from her late mother and I was very touched that she thought of sharing them with me!

Given the recent birth of Britain's new Princess, it seems fitting that the first teacup that I share from this collection is by Royal Castle.

Yellow is one of my favourite colours so a yellow teacup is always a welcome addition to my collection.

The pink roses are exquisite!

For the inaugural tea, I chose my favourite tea this spring: Davids Tea's Melon Drop.

The fruit infusion even matches the teacup's pretty yellow colour!

  

 The Melon Drop tasted sweeter in this gorgeous teacup!
