Ingrid shared the very special Gong Fu (Chinese) Tea Ceremony with us.
We all participated in the ceremony as we sat around the dining room table. Lori, Karen and Mary were Ingrid's guests of honor gathered around the ceremonial table.
Ingrid steeped this year's crop of Oolong from Anxi, a delicious tea with a flowery note.
Ingrid gifted each of us with the Gong Fu tasting cups and tray.
Thanks so much Ingrid!

What a wonderful and special teatime! (And I LOVE her pretty silk blouse -- perfect!)
I had noticed the little trays and thought they were pretty. What a lovely gift.
What an interesting post for tea lovers. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Thank you for sharing the lovely photos. I'm so glad you could share in this experience.
How nice that you could enjoy a different type of tea ceremony.
I'll have to look Ingrid up as Toronto is only an hour or so drive south from us.
How special
