Santa Brings Tea Stuff

We must have been good in the parlor this year, as Santa brought us a couple of delightful tea-related items.

This is a lovely, deep cobalt blue, single serving tea pot from one of my sisters. The color is much darker than the photo (my apologies for the glare). It came with Stash chocolate mint oolong tea, which we tried Christmas afternoon. The mint is very strong, and I couldn't detect any hint of chocolate, but it made a nice change from our preference for strong black tea. The parlor's new year's resolution may be to branch out in our tea sampling.
