The Traveling Teapot

Stacked Tea     

 

Mission San Juan Capistrano is a historic landmark and is considered to be the birth place of Orange County.

Visiting this historic Mission is captivating.  I always gaze in amazement at the beauty of the carefully stacked hand-made adobe bricks created so many years ago.   Stacked, these little adobe bricks also remind me of bricks of tea stacked high in some far away land waiting to be shipped. 

 

Stacking or layering brings many things to mind such as stacking books, layering tablescapes or favorite mini desserts in french verrines.  Do you stack or layer something special?  Please do share. 

Today the little plum teapot  carefully poured  hot water around the glass of *stacked tea* to warm it.   Layers of red tea, black tea and white tea float on top on one another to create a curious adventure in the taking of tea.     

 

It has taken me many, many hours of experimenting to successfully create my *stacked tea*.    

Enjoy it with Godiva’s creamy coconut filling accented with coconut flakes milk chocolate truffle.
