White Tea in my Cup

I enjoy the lighter taste and caffeine content of White Tea in the afternoon.

The name white tea derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened

buds of the tea plant.  This is Harney and Sons Chinese Silver Needle, a Chinese white tea.

Described on the tea tin as: "A light, subtle sweetness, 

dulled with gentle vegetal flavors of steamed bok choy." 

Unfortunately, my taste buds don't detect all that, but I do enjoy it.

Today I am using my Royal Tara vintage cup and saucer

and my newer Royal Tara 2-cup teapot 

as I continue to celebrate March.

Please bear with me and my blog posts because I have enough shamrock 

china to blog about all month.
