* * * * * * Tea Time * * * * * *

I found this lovely Japanese tea bowl at Goodwill the other night.

I don't know much about Japanese tea bowls.

So my guess is that this is worth anywhere from $3 to $1500....

(most likely in the $24.99 range)

I like the way the glaze is not everywhere on the outside.

There is a wonderful "sparkle" in the center of the inside.

Speaking of tea...

I have become addicted to Trader Joe's Irish Breakfast tea.

It is strong and dark and powerful.

If I let it steep properly - I cannot see the bottom of my mug!

I add a little Stevia sweetener and cream and I am one happy gal.

Eighty bags of Wonderful in this box.

They come two bags attached to each other all wrapped in cellophane.
No string on these bags.

Strings are for tea wimps.

I bought this tea when I could not get to Trader Joes.

My mistake.

Twenty bags of this costs as much as 80 of the Good Stuff.

And, to me, this simply is not very good.

I can hardly wait to go to bed now, so I can wake up tomorrow and have a cuppa!
