Crown Kensington Teal Chintz



What's in your teacup today? I'd love to know. Is it something you enjoy on an everyday basis? Or did you have something in your teacup that was unique and special to the day?

My teacup this morning is a Crown Kensington called Teal Chintz. It's fine bone china from Staffordshire, England. It was a gift from a sweet friend and is one of my favorite cup and saucer sets. The cheerful colors help start my day on a positive note! Today it contains a classic Ceylon tea from the Kenilworth Estate. Called Sonata, it is a fresh with citrusy tones. A bit of milk and stevia accompany this tea to create a cup of perfection. 

"Peasant and King are equals over the teacups...".

Today I am linking to Bernideen's Tea Time Blog where she is conducting a meme called Friends Sharing Tea.

  2. My day never begins with tea; however, I will likely enjoy a cup of Earl Grey around three and around eight this evening I'll have a cup of chamomile. That tea cup has the most delightful combinations of color and flowers. I can see why it would be a day brightener.

  5. What a stunning color. Wonderful. Nice handle too-big enough for fingers.
    My tea of choice is always Earl Grey or if in the evening, Chamomile.
    Enjoy your gorgeous cup!
