We've had some great tea in her home, enjoying a different piece of teaware each time. Among other places, she's also taken me to Hancook and WingHopFun (sp?). When I get back to Colorado, I'll post pix of the couple of simple pieces I've picked up (I have displayed great financial control, by the way!)
But yesterday was especially wonderful for an English-style tea lover like me:
We joined several of her friends for a tea at a sweet local shop called "Paris in a Cup". The other ladies asked V and me to choose the teas as it could only be 2 different ones for the 14 of us. Both teas were from Harney&Sons: Paris and Raspberry (the 2nd a tisane to bring happiness to the majority of the group
). I never got around to tasting the Raspberry, but the Paris tea was smooth and dark and went great with our 4-course 
luncheon of scones and sweets and finger sandwiches. Later we're catching a train to San Juan Capistrano to tour the Mission. There must be tea served for lunch somewhere nearby!
