Today I hosted a tea tasting event in Mitaka, Tokyo. It’s been 10 years since I’ve hosted such an event, and am so happy to be doing something I love again. We drank four very different teas and ate scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. Thank you to my friend Chihoko Hisatomi for organizing. I hope everyone enjoyed exploring different teas together!

A friend of mine came over to visit today. I tried to make an "afternoon tea". Sandwiches, mince pies, stollen, and orange cake. A Christmas theme. Am quite pleased with my first attempt. :) We drank with Earl Grey, Sikkim, and a Japanese grown black tea. Yum

Because all my friends know how much I like tea, often when I receive omiyage I luckily receive tea. Which makes me very happy. Today I received this from a student, Hawaiian Rooibos tea by Heavenly Fine Teas. And yes, you guessed right, she went to Hawaii :)
