A lovely cup of tea
Dress your tea table according to the seasons, which adds even more warm feelings to your ritual. Most important, however, is that you serve a good cup of tea. You can use a pretty cup with a gold rim, or a minimalist glass one. Did you know that the name of the chrysanthemum comes from Greek: chrys (gold) and anthemon (flower)? Thus, chrysanthemum literally means golden flower. The petals have a spicy flavour and are ideal for use in sweet dishes.
