You might not think that the French know much about tea...I am not talking about a tea bag in a mug with lashings of milk and sugar, no, I mean tea in a teapot with fine porcelain cups. As I write I am sipping 'Nocturne Oriental' from Mariage Frères, it is a green tea very delicately flavored with jasmine, rose and bergamot, it evokes the cool and soothing refinement of the inner courtyards of oriental palaces...Bliss, I tell you, throw in large silk cushions and the trickle of a fountain and we are there!
