My Two Cents!
At least once a year I go to a fancy hotel for tea.
Along the way I will stop in a different stores to examine the different tea cups. I often wonder should I indulge and buy a set or not.
On the day of the big event, I eat a light breakfast and lunch. Then around four in the afternoon off I go to the hotel.
I have introduced many of my friends to this ritual and they loved it.
At the hotel there is usually classical music playing. The waiter will bring you to your elegant table.
I wear everyday clothes but some people do dress up for the occasion and perhaps one day I will.
If you enjoy this beverage as I do, you probably will enjoy the various cups.
They should be selected with care and an eye to appearance, quality, and craftsmanship.
Shopping by color or pattern choice? One of the most important things to consider is that you should purchase a style that you love.
