In the studio one morning I spied my old "Brown Betty" (a very popular English tea pot) that I must have brought in quite some time ago maybe to use in a photo. I thought what a nice simple shape and finish so I took it over to the window and began working on a photograph. Soon I had one and thought it might look nice in a grouping. Finished with that I made a cup of tea and felt it tasted better than my tea usually did. I took it home and now use it daily. I've always preferred tea to coffee, especially in the morning, and I like the Yunnan region tea best. The one I get at my tea shop, The Perennial Tea Room in Post Alley near the Pike Place Market in Seattle, is called Tippy Yunnan because of the golden tips of some of the tea leaves. I've gone on long enough, have a cup of tea.
