I visit Magnolia and Ivy every now and then (it's hard for me to convince my parents that I NEED more tea). So you and I actually don't live too far from each other. We could hang out sometime. X3
BTW...I have a packet of litchi tea that I got from a tea shop in GB that closed and wondered if you knew if it was good or not. I'm scared to try it. D:

Ohmigosh it's so elegant! Maybe they'll have a place like that a few towns over, but by town is very small and far from refined.

I'm really not sure. I always try to be excited when it comes to trying new teas. Sometimes I do get a little scared though. I was surprised when I tried Magnolia tea. XD It actually tasted very wonderful and the smell was very rich with Magnolias.

Small hint for prepairing tea, tis best not to boil the water. It tastes better if you bring the water to a near boil. I leaned that at a tea shop not too far away from where I live (only about 2 or 3 hours away...)

Wow! Now I must simply hold a Tea Party. Although most of my gal pals act like guys and I feel it would simply be ruined if I tried anything...
But at least I know how to make tea! Usually I despise tea because of its bland-ness.
But that place sounds simply amazing, I'd love to go to a place like that one day.

I went to a tea room for a little gathering of the people who ride at the stables I ride horses at. ^_^ It's very enchanting. Perfect for a cute Lolita tea party.
Boiling the water does tend to burn the tea and give it a slightly bitter, burnt taste, especially in green teas. neutral

heart heart Yay Tea! I opened a Timeless Tea Society at my school, and I must say it is doing very well. Tea is one of the most relaxing, beautiful rituals our world has to offer. It is almost like you are transported to the Victorian era. heart heart
