I drink the same tea as Marie Antoinette..

august2010

The lovely Jennifer of Make Tea Not War sent me one of the most pretty films I have seen ! She sent it to be back in April for my birthday! But I have only just got round to showing you all now ! Silly me ! But thank you so much J, I adore the film!

I was watching the film for the second time the other day and was quickly reminded of the Jasmine tea balls I had in the kitchen. They are very pretty and taste stronly of jasmine.. I adore watching the expanding flower and snapped a few photos for you to enjoy too!

In the film they sip the same team as this, well I am pretty sure they do. I rushed down to pop the kettle on.. whilst I was watching the film! I purchased the tea when I was last in London. The Tea House in Covent Garden is always a must for me when I go to London, I stock up on all kinds of tea, last time I decided to try these tea balls and I totally forgot I had them untill I was watching Marie Antoinette!

Check out what happens when you pop a tea ball into a cup of hot water…

    I love Marie Antoinette (at least the film, I haven’t met her so I couldn’t know). The tea looks amazingly beautiful and delicious. I’m a teaoholic – I suspect you are too. Take care 🙂
