Tea ceremony - just because!
It's grey outside; the day doesn't quite know yet in which direction it wants to develop The morning dulls so before itself and I with him with!
Something nice should happen now, otherwise I pull the covers up to my nose again!
Oh, I know: I'll make tea!
Quickly the table is set, for it is to be a morning tea ceremony.
The beautiful dinnerware (I opt for the fine tea bowls from the 1947 collection that Hutschenreuther created for the American market at the time); the teapot and the tranquil glow of the gemstone lanterns set the mood.
These tea lights in the different types of gemstones already radiate coziness.
Now another CD with appropriate music and then off to the kitchen - make tea!
While I choose the tea variety (today pure unscented black tea), I remember a fragrance sample that I have tested only recently. It has already arrived at Gelis by now: three times a year we send each other parcels with scented contents.
But fortunately, my scent memory still remembers very well and immediately conjures up corresponding images and scents from one of its drawers.
The "Cologne Grand Cru" collection by Berdoues seems to contain very nice fragrances to my mind. "Assam of India" is one of them:
A nice clear blend of fragrances in which the black tea note is wonderfully aromatic dominant.
Here not accompanied by a lot of bells and whistles, which to me many of the other tea fragrances often a little complicated. In their fragrance diversity I sometimes get lost!
With "Assam of India" is purism announced!
Clear strong Assam tea with a few squirts of lemon juice.
Lemons ripened in the Mediterranean sun and, judging by their intensity of fragrance, may even belong to the family of fleshy varieties found in Sicily and the Amalfi Coast.
Many of them can be peeled and eaten without making a face.
And I'd rather not even think about limoncello, which they are often made into. It's too early in the day for that!
A few drops of sandalwood oil with fine depth, round off this noble fragrance pleasure!
"Assam of India" is very nice on the skin and maybe even nice in the cup!
Durability and sillage testify to a light, clear tea scent; nothing weighs down or disturbs.
Here I meet a special nose caressing, which also touches the senses.
Any bumps that may have been left by the day so far are smoothed out like ruffled feathers.
Panta rhei! Everything flows!
Perhaps a good "word for this day"
