"What part of confidante has that poor teapot played ever since the
kindly plant was introduced among us. Why myriads of women have
cried over it, to be sure! What sickbeds it has smoked by!
What fevered lips have received refreshment from it! Nature meant
very kindly by women when she made the tea plant: and with a little
thought, what a series of pictures and groups the fancy may conjure up
and assemble round the teapot and cup!” William Makepeace Thackery
"The culture of tea puts man in his proper place in the universe."

The
best Tilleul comes from the picturesque village of Carpentras in
Provence, France. It looks as beautiful as it tastes, with a dried
flower and several small, tender leaves that produce a light, subtle,
woodsy brew. This herbal tea, or tisane, is reminiscent of Proust's
"decoction of lime-blossom…"

Candied Flowers to sweeten your tea!
"There is no sort of fruit, no flower and no plant, no matter how
delicious it may be in nature, to which candying cannot lend a flavor more
seductive and agreeable."
Our serving trays are as practical as they are beautiful and when placed

Blue Canton Reproduction Porcelain by Mottahedeh
The
most fashionable tables in the early American Republic were set with
blue and white "Canton" or "Nanking" wares, named for the great
Chinese trading ports from which they came. Recognized by the blue
lattice border surrounding a variety of landscape scenes, this popular
Chinese pattern inspired a number of European versions.
