Hargate High Tea

Last Tuesday my PR manager Elizabeth Sattler, jeweller Anita Dineen and I enjoyed a luxurious High Tea at Hargate House in Launceston.

Anita took these photos and has added her own special framing to each image!
She is also wearing a tea cosy I made for her and her husband, Luke, in 2002 as an engagement present. Its lovely to see the tea cosy getting out and about!

We can all recommend a Hargate High Tea, with petit four from TantPourTant Patisserie in Charles Street, Launceston.
And I can really recommend Anita's jewellery and Elizabeth's PR services too!

Jasmin Tea Ball- Fleure d'Orient

I used one of my precious Mariage Freres jasmine tea balls the other day, I wanted to enjoy the magic of the flowering tea ball in the lovely big Russian tea cup my Swiss friend gave me last (European) summer!

The tea is lovely and fine with a delicate flavour...and the most pleasure is of course the enhanced magic of the flower bobbing around in the cup!
