Tea for Two

Gretchen and I went out to Antioch for tea yesterday
(as a reward for the achievement of a goal).

Before we had tea we went to several antique shops.
We also strolled around town and got some fun pictures.

In one antique store there were books in the back.
Ah.....

The tea place was called Infini- tea. There were so many kinds of tea,
probably at least thirty different kinds.

Gretchen's was called "Scarlet O'Peara".

My tea was called "Tiffany Rose Melody". It is a Green flowering tea.
When I read the description I did not understand what it meant.

It said that it was fun to watch when it was flowering.
Then when they brought it I understood.

The tea itself comes in a ball about the size of a quarter.
Then when it is put into the hot water it expands.

It smells like Moroccan roses, but the flavor is very mild.

Yes I know that the flash is bad, but when we tried it
without the flash it was blurry.

Gretchen saw these flowers and said she had to get my picture here.

This antiques store was closed, but it was neat with the stained glass in the window.

This wall is part of a restaurant, it is right next
to the iron gate in the first picture.

Afterwards we went across the street to a chocolate/fudge place.
The chocolate was delicious!
( as if we needed more sugar after all the tea we had! )
