A Nice Cuppa

Feel the power of the Tea Flower!

Please don’t tell Grace, my 10 year old niece! This is what she is getting for her next caffeine-free tea party with her puppy, Chado. (She chose the name “Chado” after the tea ceremony of the same name.) She already wants to be a chef, but lets start with the tea! I found these beautiful flower tea strainers that sit atop tea cups. Available in purple, red or blue, they make a perfect tea party accessory! You can brew the tea right in the center of the flower where it later sits drip free within a foliage catch. She already loves tea in the garden. She had tea here in Manhattan, not exactly as her favorite children’s book character Eloise - pinkies up, sipping cup after cup of tea at the Plaza Hotel. However, the American Girl Place did a  great job for that Big Apple Afternoon Tea magic just for little girls. When Grace got home she wanted to sip some of the little ones tea I had blended just for her and her Mumsey.

She and Chado were confounded as to how to make tea in some simple, fragrant sipping way?

A temptress of a tea pot substitute…..

The little ones can brew fresh tea leaves spot on in the middle of the flower. The power flower tea tool is available online $14.95.

Made by Koziol, they are called the Audrey Tea Flower.

Dolls are optional now that she can have one of these in every color. When I heard they returned to tea bags it even made Chado simper, whimper and sigh. Move over Cheshire Cat! Puppies too are grinning and can live inside of a flower in Tea Wonderland.
