the crimson petal and the black

Since I don't drink coffee, nor commercial juices, and rarely alcohol, my remaining preferred beverage is tea. I would have liked to write more on the topic, but my limit was 800 words and half of the article had to be shops/tea houses, so this is all I could fit in. I do still like the article, and especially the photo. Those are our tea pot and cup, notice the play of the positive and negative spaces in the handles, and the background is my favorite Ikea paisley bedding.
